This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The amendment changes the destination of funds collected from the tax on single-use carryout plastic and paper bags. Instead of making those funds available to the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection for environmental conservation purposes, the funds will now be deposited with the Commissioner of Revenue Services, who will manage their deposit into a different account established under section 23-15b of the general statutes. This alteration impacts how the funds are handled and potentially influences their use and oversight.
