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, is the most closely watched pending packaging EPR bill in the United States. The Senate passed PRRIA 33 to 25, and the Assembly version drew 78 co-sponsors, but the bill failed to reach an Assembly floor vote before the June 2026 session ended, the second consecutive year it stalled in the Assembly. A 150-amendment overhaul reflected extensive negotiation with industry, municipalities, and states that already run EPR programs. Sponsors plan to reintroduce it in 2027. PRRIA is not enacted, so no producer registration, reporting, or fees apply in New York today. 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. It passed the New York Senate but did not receive an Assembly floor vote before the June 2026 session ended. No producer registration, reporting, or fees apply in New York today.
What happened to New York's PRRIA in 2026?
The Senate passed PRRIA 33 to 25 and the Assembly version had 78 co-sponsors, but it stalled in the Assembly for the second consecutive year when it did not reach a floor vote before the session ended. A 150-amendment version was introduced during negotiations. 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.
