Eliminates prohibition on provision of single-use paper and plastic carryout bags by grocery stores for delivery, pick-up or curbside pickup orders.
S 964 removes a ban on grocery stores providing single-use paper or plastic carryout bags specifically for delivery, pick-up, or curbside pickup orders. The bill amends New Jersey law to allow these bags for off-premises orders (like online grocery deliveries) while maintaining prohibitions on single-use bags for in-store shopping. It directly affects grocery stores (defined as 2,500+ sq. ft. stores selling food for off-site consumption) by expanding permitted bag use. The change applies only to delivery/pick-up scenarios, not to other carryout bags covered under the existing ban.
