Mass Ready Act omits plastic ban, allocates $3.1B
The Massachusetts House committee's climate bill, the Mass Ready Act, advances with $3.1 billion in borrowing to prepare for climate impacts, but excludes provisions favored by environmental advocates, such as a plastic bag ban and funding for water safety measures. The bill faces a vote soon, with amendments expected to reinstate some measures, but differences remain with the Senate version. The plastic bag ban has repeatedly failed in the legislature, despite strong public support and similar bans in other states.
