Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill reduces the amount of unclaimed deposit revenue the commingling cooperative is required to provide to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for deposit into the department's Cost and Carbon Efficient Technology Fund (CCET Fund) from $1,000,000 to $500,000 starting in fiscal year 2025-26. At that time the allocations to the DEP will be reduced by $500,000 to reflect the lower amount available for bottle technology grants to increase the use of refillable and reusable beverage containers in the State.
