Directs DEP to establish rebate program for purchase of microfiber washing machine filter or replacement filter; appropriates $2.5 million.

This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection to create a rebate program that helps residents purchase microfiber washing machine filters, which are devices attached to washing machines to trap synthetic fibers before they enter the wastewater system. The program would provide one-time rebates of up to $100 or the cost of the filter, whichever is less, to residents who buy eligible filters and submit a completed application. The state has appropriated $2.5 million from the General Fund to support this initiative, and the DEP must report annually on the program's usage, costs, and effectiveness to the Governor and Legislature.
