This resolution proposes the creation of a special joint legislative commission in Rhode Island to study and provide recommendations on how to protect the environment from plastic bottle waste. The commission would consist of 18 members, including legislators, representatives from environmental organizations, industry representatives, and other stakeholders. The commission's purpose would be to conduct a comprehensive study on current recycling practices for plastic bottles, identify ways to improve recycling efforts, compare different recycling programs, and provide recommendations for market-based recycling opportunities. The commission would be required to report its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly by June 10, 2024.
