Repeals the state prohibition of local governments regulating paper and plastic bags

This bill removes a state law that currently prevents local governments from banning or taxing paper and plastic bags. By repealing these restrictions, the legislation allows cities and counties to decide on their own whether to regulate or limit the use of these bags for packaging goods. The change directly affects local officials who would previously be barred from implementing such rules and merchants who sell items in these bags. Essentially, the bill shifts the authority to control bag usage from the state level back to individual municipalities.
