Qué contiene
La explicación oficial está en inglés; todavía no hay resumen en palabras sencillas.
Current law limits beverage containers subject to beverage containers control deposit and refund provisions to any sealed glass, plastic, or metal bottle, can, jar, or carton holding wine, alcoholic liquor, beer, mineral water, soda water, and carbonated soft drinks. When a distributor sells beverages in eligible containers to a dealer, the distributor attaches an extra cents per eligible container to the sale price. When a dealer sells beverages in eligible containers to a consumer, the dealer passes on the 5-cent deposit to the sale price.
Lea la explicación completa
A consumer can take eligible beverage containers to a dealer, dealer agent, or a redemption center and receive a 5-cent refund for every eligible beverage container that the consumer returns. A distributor collects eligible containers from a dealer, dealer agent, or redemption center, at which time the distributor pays the dealer, dealer agent, or redemption center cents per eligible container plus a handling fee of an additional cent per empty container. This bill expands the definition of “beverage” and excludes certain substances from that definition. The bill removes jars and cartons from the definition of “beverage container” and instead excludes jars, cartons, foil pouches, and drink boxes. The bill increases the refund and deposit amount from cents to cents for all beverage containers subject to the deposit and refund provisions. The bill also increases the handling fee that a dealer, dealer agent, or redemption center will charge a distributor from cent to cents.
