Exempts certain compostable items from ban on single-use plastic carryout products.

This bill amends New Jersey's single-use plastic carryout bag ban to exempt certain compostable bags. Specifically, it removes from the definition of "plastic carryout bag" bags made entirely from organic materials that are certified by a third-party verification organization as compostable in municipal or industrial facilities. This change directly affects stores selling these certified compostable bags, allowing them to offer these items without violating the ban. The exemption applies only to bags meeting the specified certification standards, not all biodegradable products. The bill does not alter the overall ban on conventional plastic carryout bags.
