A Texas Senate sub-committee hearing has been scheduled for Monday regarding the so-called “bottle bill.”
SB 645 is fourth on the list to be heard by the Finance Sub-Committee on Fiscal Matters, which will begin its meeting at 9 a.m. in room E1.036 (the Finance Room) of the State Capitol.
Sponsored by Sen. Rodney Ellis (D-Houston), the legislation is designed to reduce litter by imposing a deposit on disposable containers. Supporters, which include the Texas Rivers Protection Association (TRPA) and other river-oriented organizations, say the law would bring jobs and reduce litter.
