NE1: Single-Use Plastic Carrier Act (passed)

[Clyde1998]

there's already a 20¢ charge on a federal level but i'm actually fine with layering a regional charge on top of it

Federal law is a bit strict. One amendment that I'm going to make - I though I'd included it originally - is that any profits from this should be donated to charities, rather than it being a tax.

Instead of fines, how about tax incentives?

I wouldn't describe the charge as a fine - as it requires companies to give the profits from their carrier bag sales to charities.
