The special joint legislative commission, initially established to study and provide recommendations on protecting the environment and natural resources from plastic bottle waste, has been authorized to continue its work. The commission's mandate has been expanded to include studying the impact of glass, aluminum, and nips, in addition to plastic bottles. The commission's membership has also been increased from eighteen to twenty members, with new appointments to be made by the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate. The commission is now required to report its findings to the General Assembly by April 25, 2025, and will expire on April 30, 2025.

The resolution effectively extends the commission's reporting deadline and expiration date, allowing for a more comprehensive study that now encompasses a broader range of materials. The purpose of the commission has been amended to reflect this expanded scope, and the increase in membership is intended to provide a wider range of expertise and perspectives. The previous reporting authorization, as stated in resolution No. 443, has been rescinded to accommodate these changes.
