BILL NUMBER:A10489
Title of bill
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to establishing a refundable deposit on wine and liquor containers; and to amend the environmental conservation law and the state finance law, in relation to the deposit of unredeemed deposits thereon into the environ- mental protection fund and the state park infrastructure fund
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill seeks to add a refundable deposit on wine and liquor contain- ers and provides that unredeemed deposits thereon be deposited in the environmental protection fund and state park infrastructure fund.
Summary of specific provisions
Amends subdivision I section 27-1003 of the Environmental Conservation Law to: add wine and liquor containers. Amends subdivision 5 of section 27-1012 of the Environmental Conservation Law to: provide that the comp- troller shall deposit all revenue derived from wine and liquor contain- ers in equal portions in the environmental protection fund and state park infrastructure fund. Amends subdivision 3 of section 92-s of the state finance law to: add all moneys required to be deposited therein pursuant to subdivision 5 of section 27-1012 of the environmental conservation law.
Justification
This bill will add a deposit upon wine and liquor containers that will help to move those items out of the solid waster stream for the state. Such a deposit has been. successful with soda, beer and other similar containers. Unclaimed deposits for wine and liquor containers will be directed to the environmental protection fund and the state park infras- tructure fund. Both the environmental protection fund and the state park infrastructure fund have been depleted in recent years due to various cuts and sweeps. The unclaimed deposit money from wine and liquor bottles will help to replenish both of those funds.
