Staff Analysis of the Legislation
|
This legislation prohibits cities and counties from enacting any regulation on the use, disposition, sale, prohibition, restriction, fee imposition or taxation whatsoever on "auxiliary containers". These containers include plastic grocery bags, Styrofoam cups, glass or plastic bottles and boxes, made out of any materials, that transport food and beverages. While concerned with the overall preemption, ACCG is working to ensure that local drop-off, curbside and commercial recycling programs, as well as government properties, are exempted from the bill. |
