BAGS - RETAILER REPORTING

Many regulations have reporting requirements for money collected. We suggest including reporting requirements in the law as it will help with overall measurement and monitoring.

Washington DC businesses are required to report and remit their net bag fee collections. Businesses are authorized to keep $0.01 of each $0.05 fee collected and must remit the remaining $0.04 for each bag distributed.

EXAMPLES

UK retailers must keep records of # of bags supplied + additional reporting requirements

California AB 2449 requires grocery industry to maintain records about # of bags used
