Relates to the sale of composting bags
This bill (A 1532) requires all composting bags sold within the state - including yard waste bags, leaf bags, and similar products - to be made of paper, not plastic. It directly affects retailers selling these bags and manufacturers producing them. Violations carry a $500 penalty per offense for both retailers and manufacturers. The law takes effect January 1, 2027, and defines "compost materials" as items like leaves, grass clippings, and garden debris.
