Bill > SB933

This bill authorizes localities in Virginia to prohibit the purchase, sale, or provision of non-recyclable single-use plastic carrier bags from grocery stores, retail stores, and convenience stores. It defines "plastic" and "single-use" for the purposes of the law and excludes certain types of plastic bags from the prohibition, such as those used for ice cream, meat, newspapers, and garbage. The bill also allows localities to adopt a disposable plastic bag tax as an alternative to the prohibition.
