Published June 04. 2021 12:14AM  By SUSAN HAIGH, Associated Press Connecticut lawmakers on Thursday approved a long-awaited plan to significantly update the state s so-called “Bottle Bill” for the first time in decades, expanding the list of drink containers requiring a deposit. Under the bill, which cleared the House of Representatives on a bipartisan vote of 105 to 42, drink bottles for hard seltzer and hard cider, plant water, juice, juice drinks, tea, coffee, kombucha, plant-infused beverages, sports and energy drinks will have a 10-cent deposit up from 5 cents beginning Jan. 1, 2024. The legislation, which now awaits Gov. Ned Lamont s signature, also requires liquor wholesalers to begin, on Oct. 1, collecting a 5-cent surcharge on 50 milliliter liquor bottles known as “nips.” Money generated from that fee will be transferred to municipalities to help them clean up the tiny bottles, which have become a major litter problem.
