Reduces Cost In Bill
The amendment removes the provisions specified in Section 1 and

Instead, it requires the Environment Committee to convene a
working group for developing recommendations for phasing out
polystyrene trays in each school district, regional school district,
regional vocational technical school, and constituent unit of higher
education by July 1, 2023. This has no fiscal impact as the Chairs of the
Environment Committee has the expertise to make legislative
recommendations.
