Vote Yes on this bill if you want the state to provide distributors with a refundable, inflation-adjusted tax credit for each returnable beverage container sold, and to incentivize the use of returnable beverage packaging.

Environmental groups, recycling advocates, beverage distributors, and business associations that favor incentives for reusable packaging may support this bill.

Vote No on this bill if you want to avoid new business tax credits that reduce state revenue, limit subsidies to distributors, and avoid making any changes.

Fiscal watchdog and taxpayer groups, some education and municipal funding advocates, and retailer associations that handle returns but get no credit may oppose this bill.
