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 for supply purchases whenever feasible. The bill specifies that this requirement is contingent upon the price differential for such products not exceeding twenty percent compared to their plastic counterparts.

This initiative is designed to promote environmental sustainability by reducing plastic usage in state purchases, thereby encouraging the adoption of more eco-friendly materials. The bill does not include any deletions from existing law but introduces new language to establish this requirement, reflecting a commitment to enhancing the state's environmental practices.
