A 2756 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Exempts sales of reusable carryout bags from sales and use tax.

This bill (A 2756) exempts sales of qualifying reusable carryout bags from New Jersey's sales and use tax. It directly affects retailers selling these bags and consumers purchasing them, as it removes the tax on eligible products. The bill defines a "reusable carryout bag" as one made from machine-washable materials (like cloth, polypropylene, or nylon), with stitched handles, and designed for multiple uses. The tax exemption applies to all sales made four months after the bill takes effect.
