Provides permanent exemption for certain polystyrene foam food service products from law prohibiting sale and provision of polystyrene foam food service products.
This bill permanently exempts specific polystyrene foam food service products from New Jersey's law that generally bans their sale and use. It directly affects businesses by allowing the continued use of meat and fish trays for raw or butchered meat and any food items pre-packaged by the manufacturer in these materials. The legislation clarifies that these two categories of products are no longer subject to the state's prohibition, even though other polystyrene foam items remain banned. Additionally, the bill prevents local municipalities from creating their own rules regarding these specific exempted items.
