Repealing restrictions and fees on plastic carryout bags.

SB 6030 repeals restrictions on plastic carryout bags in Washington State, allowing retailers to offer thinner plastic bags (under 2.25 mils) that were previously banned. It removes the requirement for retailers to provide "reusable" bags but maintains the existing rule that all carryout bags (including plastic) must contain at least 40% postconsumer recycled content. The bill directly affects retail businesses and consumers by changing bag options at checkout while keeping environmental content standards. This follows a university study noting that previous plastic bag restrictions increased overall plastic use despite reduced bag numbers.
