PLASTIC BAGS – Repeals existing law preempting local regulation of auxiliary containers, including plastic bags.

H 70 repeals Idaho Code §67-2340, which currently prevents local governments from regulating plastic bags and other auxiliary containers. This bill directly affects cities and counties in Idaho by removing the state's legal barrier to local ordinances restricting plastic bags. The key provision is the repeal of the preemption law, allowing municipalities to independently adopt rules on plastic bag use. The bill does not create new regulations but enables local decision-making on this issue. (This is a procedural bill, so the summary is concise.)
