An Act related to truth in environmental marketing claims

This bill creates a new chapter in state law to prevent false or misleading claims about how recyclable or environmentally friendly products are. It requires companies making such claims in advertisements or on packaging to keep written proof that the products are actually recyclable in the state and to document any negative environmental impacts of making those goods. Businesses must also provide this documentation to state officials if asked, and the attorney general is given the power to fine violators up to $1,000 per offense. The law specifically clarifies that retailers who simply sell a product do not make the environmental claim themselves, and it allows recyclable symbols on multi-material items as long as non-recyclable parts are clearly labeled.
