AB244 phases in a statewide ban on polystyrene foam (“Styrofoam”) food containers. Beginning October 1, 2025, large food-dispensing establishments with 10 or more locations in the state may no longer sell, serve, or transport food or beverages in disposable polystyrene-foam containers, with civil penalties up to $100 per day for willful violations.
The Nevada State Assembly passed AB244 on April 17, 2025 by a vote of 36 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the nays because government should not interfere in commerce or the free market, nor violate America’s founding principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Additionally, this legislation advances the false climate-change narrative promoted by the globalist United Nations’ Agenda 2030.
