Senate Omnibus Environment and Natural Resources Bill
A section within the Senate’s Omnibus Environment and Natural Resources Bill was drafted to prohibit local communities and municipalities from banning or taxing single-use plastic bags. An amendment was offered to remove that section and therefore allow local communities and municipalities to ban or tax single-use plastic bags.
A similar version of this section was enacted in the final Environment and Natural Resource Omnibus Bill that was signed into law prohibiting local communities and municipalities can no longer ban or tax single-use plastic bags.
