Bill > LD69

This bill proposes to completely repeal Section 1611 of Title 38 of the Maine Revised Statutes Annotated (MRSA), which previously regulated the use of certain types of bags. Specifically, the bill would eliminate the existing law that had placed restrictions on recycled paper bags, reusable plastic bags, and single-use carry-out bags. By repealing this section in its entirety, the legislation would effectively remove all current regulations that limited the use of these types of bags in the state. The repeal means that businesses and consumers would no longer be subject to the previous bag-related restrictions, potentially allowing for increased use of single-use and plastic bags that were previously regulated.
