AN ACT PROHIBITING THE USE OF POLYSTYRENE PRODUCTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

HB 6237 prohibits public schools from using polystyrene products, such as plastic food containers and packaging, in their facilities. The bill directly affects all public schools within the state by banning these items in school food service and other settings. Key provisions require schools to replace polystyrene with alternative materials, though the bill does not specify alternatives or enforcement details. The legislation was introduced by Rep. Rader and referred to the Environment Committee for further review.
