Summary
The bill removes Section 67‑2340 of the Idaho Code, which stopped cities and counties from creating their own rules on plastic bags and similar containers. With that preemption repealed, local jurisdictions may now enact bans, fees, or other measures as they choose. An emergency clause makes the change effective immediately once the bill is approved.
