Pennsylvania House Bill 2624, also known as the Retail Establishment Bag Prohibition Act, seeks to eliminate single-use plastic bags and restrict non-recycled paper bags in retail settings, with specific exemptions for certain types of purchases. The legislation defines key terms, including ""single-use plastic bag"" and ""recycled paper bag,"" to ensure clarity in its application.
The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development will be responsible for public education and enforcement of the act. Set to take effect one year after its passage, the law aims to promote environmental sustainability and significantly reduce plastic waste across Pennsylvania.
