An Act To Repeal The Law Restricting The Use Of Certain Plastic, Paper And Single-Use Bags

LD 69 repeals Maine's existing law that restricted the use of recycled paper bags, reusable plastic bags, and single-use carry-out bags. This bill directly affects retailers and consumers by removing legal barriers to selling and using these bag types. The key mechanism is the repeal of Section 38 MRSA §1611, which previously limited bag availability. The policy change allows businesses to resume offering these bag options without regulatory constraints.
