Prognosis

Not enough signal yet

In plain language

The bill prohibits certain chemicals in paper receipts and phases out paper receipts altogether.

This bill aims to ban the use of bisphenol-A and bisphenol-S in paper receipts. It also includes a phased approach to eventually eliminate all paper receipts, while allowing for electronic receipts to be used instead.
