AN ACT PROHIBITING NEWSPAPER DELIVERY TO NON-SUBSCRIBERS.

HB 5228 would ban newspaper delivery to people who do not have a paid subscription. This directly affects residents who currently receive unsolicited newspapers delivered to their homes. The bill’s key provision requires newspapers to only deliver to subscribers, aiming to reduce environmental waste from discarded, unsolicited papers. The stated purpose focuses on minimizing the environmental impact of unused newspapers. The bill is currently referred to the Environment Committee.
