Repeals law prohibiting sale or distribution of single-use plastic carryout bags, single-use paper carryout bags, polystyrene foam food service products, and single-use plastic straws.

S 4238 repeals New Jersey's current law banning the sale or distribution of single-use plastic carryout bags, single-use paper carryout bags, polystyrene foam food service products, and single-use plastic straws. This bill directly affects retail stores, restaurants, and consumers by removing restrictions that previously prohibited these items from being provided to customers. The repeal eliminates the existing ban, allowing businesses to resume selling or distributing these single-use products without penalty. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment, providing businesses time to restore supplies of the affected items.
