For legislation to require deposits on certain non-carbonated beverage containers. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill expands the existing bottle bill by redefining "beverage" to include non-carbonated water beverages, such as flavored water and vitamin water. It also modifies the size range of eligible beverage containers from 16 fluid ounces to 5 gallons, to between 4 ounces and 128 ounces. The bill requires bottlers and distributors to maintain separate Deposit Transaction Funds and Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Funds to manage the deposit refund values for non-carbonated water beverages and other eligible beverages, respectively. The funds collected from the Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Fund are to be used by entities that maintain and replace water and wastewater infrastructure, while the remaining funds are to be deposited in the Clean Environment Fund. The bill is set to take effect on December 31, 2018.
