Died when the session ended · The 2022 session adjourned on May 24, 2022, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill relates to the applicability of the beverage containers control program. Under current law, when a distributor sells beverages in eligible containers to a dealer, the distributor adds cents per eligible container to the sale price. When a dealer sells beverages in eligible containers to a consumer, the dealer charges the 5-cent deposit on each beverage container. A consumer can take eligible beverage containers to a dealer, dealer agent, or redemption center and receive a 5-cent refund for every eligible beverage container that the consumer returns.
