● Pending LegislationMomentum: Defeated this session
Not enacted. New York has no active packaging EPR program. No producer registration, reporting, or fees apply today. This page tracks the bill's status so producers can plan ahead.
New York's Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act (PRRIA), carried as S.1464-A / A.1749-A, has come closer to passage than any other pending packaging EPR bill. The Senate passed S.1464 on May 28, 2025 by 33 to 25 and the Assembly version, A.1749-A, lists 76 co-sponsors, but the bill died in the Assembly in January 2026; the 2026 print, S.1464-A, was advanced to third reading on May 21, 2026 and committed to Rules on June 5, 2026 without a floor vote in either chamber, the second consecutive year it stalled (nysenate.gov bill history, read September 23, 2026). The April 27, 2026 amendment (the A print) reflected negotiation with industry, municipalities, and states that already run EPR programs. Sponsors plan to reintroduce it in 2027. If it passes in 2027, fees would likely begin in 2028 or later under a phased timeline, with NYSDEC as the oversight agency.

Frequently asked questions
Is packaging EPR law in effect in New York?
No. PRRIA (S.1464-A / A.1749-A) is pending, not enacted. The Senate passed the 2025 print on May 28, 2025; the 2026 print, S.1464-A, was committed to Rules on June 5, 2026 without a floor vote in either chamber. No producer registration, reporting, or fees apply in New York today.
What happened to New York's PRRIA in 2026?
The Senate had passed the 2025 print, S.1464, on May 28, 2025 by 33 to 25; the 2026 print, S.1464-A, was committed to Rules on June 5, 2026 without a floor vote in either chamber, so the bill stalled for the second consecutive year. The A print, amended April 27, 2026, reflected negotiation with industry, municipalities, and states that already run EPR programs. Sponsors plan a 2027 reintroduction.
When would New York EPR fees begin if PRRIA passes?
No fee date is set, because the bill is not enacted. If PRRIA is reintroduced and passed in 2027, producer registration and a phased fee schedule would follow, with fees likely beginning in 2028 or later.
Which agency would run New York's packaging EPR program?
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) would oversee the program if PRRIA becomes law.
What this means for producers
There are no New York EPR obligations or fees today. Producers subject to the enacted state laws (California, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington) can monitor New York here and fold it into multi-state planning if it advances.
