This bill proposes the repeal of Section 67-2340 of the Idaho Code, which pertains to the state preemption of local regulations regarding 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 on environmental and public health issues related to these items.

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 quickly empower local governments to address concerns related to auxiliary containers without state interference.
