Assembly Bill 783 seeks to repeal section 66.0419 of the statutes, which currently restricts the ability of local governments in Wisconsin to regulate auxiliary containers. Auxiliary containers are defined as various types of packaging, including bags, cups, bottles, and cans, that are used for transporting or protecting merchandise, food, or beverages. Under the existing law, local political subdivisions are limited in their authority to enact ordinances regarding the use, sale, or disposition of these containers, as well as their ability to impose fees or restrictions on them.

By repealing this section, the bill would grant local governments greater flexibility to regulate auxiliary containers according to their specific needs and circumstances. This change would allow municipalities to implement their own rules regarding the use and management of these containers, potentially addressing environmental concerns and promoting sustainability at the local level.
