The New Jersey State Legislature passed a plastic bag bill (A3267/S2600), but it only sets a 5-cent fee on all single-use plastic and paper bags throughout the Garden State. We are urging Governor Murphy to veto and fix it with actions that will truly make a difference. They include:
• Phasing-out and banning bags by 2020-2021
• Protecting towns that want or have strong laws
• Charging 10-cent fee on all other bags
• Dedicate the generated funds to help reduce litter
and lead in drinking water
• Requiring enforcement of and education about the law
Call Governor Murphy at 609-292-6000 and urge him to veto and fix A3267/S2600.
