Bill overview
This bill aims to restore Michigan’s local governments’ ability to regulate plastic bags and other containers. It repeals a 2016 law (PA 389) that prevented cities and counties from enacting their own rules about these items, such as bans or fees. By removing this statewide restriction, local communities can once again decide how to manage plastic bag use and disposal. This allows for a more tailored approach to environmental protection based on local needs and circumstances.
