Allows counties and cities to impose fees on single-use plastic bags.

This bill amends the Iowa Code to allow counties and cities to impose fees on single-use plastic bags. It defines a "single-use plastic bag" as a bag made of plastic provided by a retailer to a consumer at the point of sale, excluding reusable grocery bags. The bill specifies that certain bags, such as those provided by pharmacies for prescription medications or those without handles used to protect items, are not considered single-use plastic bags.
