费城议会已经通过了零售商店纸袋10美分的收费,旨在减少废物和增加可重复使用的纸袋的使用。 Philadelphia City Council has passed a 10-cent fee on paper bags at retail stores, aiming to reduce waste and boost reusable bag use. 10至5票将法案提交给Cherelle Parker市长,市长可以否决该法案;如果她否决该法案,理事会有10天的时间以压倒多数推翻该法案。 The 10-5 vote sends the bill to Mayor Cherelle Parker, who may veto it; if she does, Council has 10 days to override with a supermajority. 对于准备好的食品和某些外卖情况,对无处理袋适用豁免。 Exemptions apply to handleless bags for prepared foods and certain takeout scenarios. 该措施以2021年塑料袋禁令为基础,并继2019年尝试失败之后。 The measure builds on a 2021 plastic bag ban and follows a 2019 failed attempt. 支持者说,它鼓励可持续的习惯,而反对者则担心对低收入居民的影响,特别是在可能扰乱SNAP福利的情况下。 Supporters say it encourages sustainable habits, while opponents worry about impacts on low-income residents, especially amid potential SNAP benefit disruptions. 零售商必须在强制执行前60天张贴标牌。 Retailers must post signage 60 days before enforcement.
