Environmental protection: pollution prevention; plastic bags and other containers; repeal act preempting local regulation of. Repeals 2016 PA 389 (MCL 445.591 - 445.593).

SB 195 repeals Michigan's 2016 law (PA 389) that prevented local governments from regulating plastic bags and similar containers. This repeal directly affects cities and counties, allowing them to create their own rules about plastic bag use, fees, or bans. The bill removes a state-level barrier that previously blocked local environmental policies targeting single-use plastic containers. It does not create new regulations but restores local authority over this issue. The change enables communities to address plastic pollution through tailored approaches.
