Scheduled to go into effect on July 1, 2025, § 3004Q of Title 16 prohibits food establishments from providing ready-to-eat food in polystyrene foam food service packaging. This prohibition would create significant hardships and increase costs for the Department of Correction (“Department”), which uses polystyrene foam food service packaging in the course of providing over 14,000 meals per day to Department inmates.
