Missouri HB2622 repeals the state ban on local governments regulating paper and plastic bags.

Missouri HB2622 repeals Section 260.283 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, which prohibits local governments from regulating paper and plastic bags. This change allows local governments to implement their own regulations on paper and plastic bags, potentially including fees, restrictions, or requirements for bag usage. The bill removes the state-level prohibition, enabling municipalities to address environmental concerns and local preferences regarding bag usage.
