Rhode Island State Lawmakers may soon be debating their own version of a bottle bill.
They don’t have a bottle deposit law – but the Bottle Bill Commission is expected to propose at least one version of the bill which would create a 10-cent bottle deposit.
That is equal to Connecticut- but double that of Massachusetts.
It is all in an effort to increase recycling.
But store owners say all it would do is increase the cost of business.
No timetable for debate.
