Bill > HB3193

This bill aims to phase out single-use plastic products at Missouri State Parks and Historic Sites by repealing an existing law that allowed merchants to offer paper or plastic bags and prohibited local governments from banning or taxing them. The new law, effective January 1, 2027, will require the division of state parks to prioritize suppliers offering non-plastic alternatives in their concession contracts, and beginning January 1, 2028, retail concessionaires within state parks will be prohibited from selling or distributing single-use plastic bags, single-use plastic bottled water, and polystyrene beverage cups or food containers. The bill defines key terms such as "compostable product," "plastic bag," "polystyrene," "retail concessionaire," "single-use plastic bottled water," and "single-use plastic product," while also outlining exceptions for medically necessary items, products with no commercially available alternatives, and emergency situations.
