What it does

This bill relates to the beverage containers control law, also known as the bottle bill. 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 adds cents per eligible container to the sale price. When a dealer sells beverages in eligible containers to a consumer, the dealer adds the 5-cent deposit to the sale price of each beverage container.
