Bill Summary
A bill to repeal 2016 PA 389, entitled"An act to preempt local ordinances regulating the use, disposition, or sale of, prohibiting or restricting, or imposing any fee, charge, or tax on certain containers,"(MCL 445.591 to 445.593).
AI Summary
This bill repeals the 2016 Public Act 389 (MCL 445.591 to 445.593), which was a state law that previously prevented local governments from regulating plastic bags and other containers. By repealing this act, the bill will allow local municipalities in Michigan to create their own ordinances and regulations concerning plastic bags, effectively restoring local control over environmental policies related to single-use containers. This change means that cities, counties, and other local jurisdictions will once again have the ability to implement their own restrictions or bans on plastic bags if they choose to do so, which could potentially help reduce plastic waste and environmental pollution at a local level.
