New Jersey S3831 establishes a rebate program for microfiber washing machine filters to reduce microfiber pollution.

New Jersey S3831 directs the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create a rebate program for residents purchasing microfiber washing machine filters or replacements. The program aims to reduce microfiber pollution by encouraging the use of filters that capture microfibers before they enter septic systems or public sewage systems. The bill appropriates $2.5 million for this purpose. The rebate amount cannot exceed the filter's cost or $100. The DEP must determine eligible filters, application processes, and report annually on the program's effectiveness and funding needs.
