Authorizes grocery stores to provide certain single-use paper carryout bags to customers.

This bill prohibits New Jersey grocery stores from providing single-use paper carryout bags to customers, unless the bags contain a significant amount of postconsumer recycled content. It directly affects grocery stores (defined as self-service retail establishments over 2,500 sq. ft. selling food for off-site consumption) and applies to bags used for transporting groceries or retail goods. The key provision requires stores to either use paper bags with high recycled content or switch to alternative packaging, while exempting bags for specific items like raw meat, produce, or pharmacy prescriptions. The law aims to reduce plastic and paper waste by discouraging single-use bags that contribute to pollution and environmental harm.
