Plastic Bag Bill Deferred

By /
The hearing on plastic bags is over.

The House Committee on Energy and Environmental Protection deferred passage of the bill so it can evaluate a separate bill proposed by Rep. Jerry Chang. 

The hearing is expected to be next week. 

Civil Beat will be exploring the financial impact of plastic bag fees on customers. More to come.
