What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law limits the authority of a political subdivision to regulate auxiliary

containers. “Auxiliary container" is defined as “a bag, cup, bottle, can, or other

packaging that is designed to be reusable or single-use; that is made of cloth, paper,

plastic, cardboard, corrugated material, aluminum, glass, postconsumer recycled

material, or similar material or substrates, including coated, laminated, or

multi-layer substrates; and that is designed for transporting or protecting

merchandise, food, or beverages from a food service or retail facility.” Specifically,

with certain exceptions, a political subdivision may not 1) enact or enforce an

ordinance regulating the use, disposition, or sale of auxiliary containers; 2) prohibit

or restrict auxiliary containers; or 3) impose a fee, charge, or surcharge on auxiliary

containers. This bill eliminates these restrictions on the authority of a political

subdivision to regulate auxiliary containers.
