Prohibits use of paper receipts containing bisphenol-A or bisphenol-S; provides for phased-in prohibition on use of all paper receipts; authorizes continued use of electronic receipts.

New Jersey's A 1851 prohibits retailers and service providers from using paper receipts containing bisphenol-A (BPA) or bisphenol-S (BPS) starting immediately, with a full phase-out of all paper receipts required within 13 months. The bill mandates that businesses switch to electronic receipts (via email or text) for all transactions, with violations subject to $250-$500 civil penalties per offense. It directly affects all retail and service businesses in New Jersey, aiming to eliminate exposure to toxic chemicals linked to health issues and reduce environmental harm from receipt production. The law focuses on concrete policy changes: banning specific chemicals, setting clear deadlines, and enabling digital alternatives.
