Repeals the state prohibition of local governments regulating paper and plastic bags

Summary

HB 2622 would eliminate Section 260.283, which currently prohibits cities, counties, and other political subdivisions from imposing bans, fees, taxes, or other restrictions on paper or plastic bags and from limiting reusable bag use. Removing that prohibition would let local jurisdictions again regulate bag policies. The bill did not pass.
