The 1995 state legislature adjourned without passing a bill that would have imposed a 3¢ tax on containers that did not meet a specified recycling rate by July 1, 1996. Virtually all containers were covered by the bill, which also applied to packaging such as potato chip bags. Six-packs would be taxed as six single units. A bill that did pass, however, allows the state's Environmental Review Commission (ERC) to study a plastics recycling plan, including any disposal tax component.
