Bill overview
This bill aims to remove a law from 2016 that prevented local governments in Michigan from regulating plastic bags and other containers. Specifically, it repeals 2016 PA 389, which restricted local authorities’ ability to set rules about these items, such as bans or fees. By removing this state law, local communities will once again have the power to decide their own policies regarding plastic bags and similar materials. This allows for greater local control over environmental regulations.
