NYC Council passes bill allowing reusable bottles in sports venues
NEW YORK (PIX11) -- The New York City Council passed a bill Wednesday requiring professional and collegiate sports venues to allow attendees to bring reusable containers to events.
The legislation details that the aluminum or stainless steel bottles must be empty to enter the venue and no larger than 24 fluid ounces. Venues that do not comply will face penalty fines, officials said.
The bill has been passed along to Mayor Adams, who has 30 days to sign or veto the bill.
