Bill > H2875

This bill, titled "To promote cost savings through the use of public water," amends Chapter 29 of the General Laws by adding a new section that prohibits the use of state funds to purchase bottled water. This prohibition applies to facilities that are already supplied with water from public water systems or potable well water, with exceptions made only for situations where bottled water is necessary for safety, health, or emergency reasons. The intent behind this legislation is to encourage cost savings by promoting the use of readily available public water sources instead of bottled water.
