Prohibits procurement of single use plastic beverage containers by State and local government entities.

New Jersey bill A1165 prohibits state and local government agencies from purchasing single-use plastic beverage containers (like sealed plastic bottles or cans) for their operations. The law applies to all government entities with procurement authority, including departments, schools, and municipalities, but allows exceptions for existing contracts or if alternatives would cause economic hardship. Agencies must review and update their purchasing rules within one year to comply. The bill does not affect public consumption of such containers or require changes to private businesses.
