Bill > H0338

This bill repeals an existing law that preempts local regulation of auxiliary containers, including plastic bags. This means that local governments in Idaho will now have the authority to regulate or ban the use of plastic bags and other types of auxiliary containers, such as cups or containers made of paper, plastic, or other materials, within their respective jurisdictions. The repeal of this preemption law gives more power to cities and counties in Idaho to address plastic pollution and waste management issues at the local level.
