Committee releases beach-accessibility bill and plastics recycling marketplace resolution
Summary
The Environment and Solid Waste Committee released AB1403, directing DEP to develop beach accessibility guidelines for persons with disabilities, and ACR114 urging DEP and the EDA to establish a plastics recycling marketplace; both measures were released unanimously with brief testimony from recyclers and advocates.
The Assembly Environment and Solid Waste Committee voted unanimously to release two additional measures: AB1403, which would require the Department of Environmental Protection to develop beach accessibility guidelines for people with disabilities, and Assembly Concurrent Resolution 114, which urges the DEP and Economic Development Authority to establish a plastics recycling marketplace.
Assemblyman Meyer spoke in support of AB1403, citing beach communities in his district and local beach-access programs such as beach buggies. ACR114 drew brief testimony in favor from Alexis Bailey on behalf of the Association of New Jersey Recyclers and endorsements from Clean Water Action and Environment New Jersey.
Both measures were released as referred to the committee with no amendments recorded during the hearing.
