The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6456, aims to amend current statutes to mandate the state to utilize and purchase nonplastic recyclable products whenever feasible. The bill specifies that this requirement applies as long as the price difference between nonplastic recyclable products and traditional products does not exceed twenty percent.

This initiative is designed to promote environmental sustainability by encouraging the use of recyclable materials in state supply purchases. The bill does not include any deletions from existing law but introduces new legal language to establish this requirement, reflecting a commitment to reducing plastic waste and enhancing recycling efforts within state operations.
