This bill proposes the repeal of Section 67-2340 of the Idaho Code, which currently establishes state preemption over local regulations concerning auxiliary containers, including plastic bags. By removing this section, local governments would regain the authority to regulate the use of auxiliary containers within their jurisdictions, allowing for more localized decision-making regarding environmental concerns and waste management.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This urgency suggests that the legislature aims to empower local governments to act swiftly in addressing issues related to auxiliary containers.
