Enacts prohibitions relating to the use of disposable foodware containers containing polystyrene foam by certain food dispensing establishments. (BDR 40-685)

AB 244 bans the use of polystyrene foam food containers by most food establishments in Nevada. Starting October 1, 2025, restaurants with 10 or more Nevada locations must stop selling or serving food in these containers, with a $100 daily civil penalty for violations. Small businesses (under 10 locations) are exempt unless they operate in states that already banned foam. The full statewide ban takes effect January 1, 2029, with existing inventory allowed until depleted. The law specifically targets single-use containers like cups, trays, and clamshells made from polystyrene foam.
