Title

PLASTIC BAG REDUCTION  (EACP-2)

 

Description

The Committee is in receipt of the following:

1.                     County Communication 16-62, from Councilmember Elle Cochran, transmitting a proposed bill relating to plastic bag reduction.

2.                     Correspondence dated November 3, 2016, from the Department of the Corporation Counsel, transmitting a revised proposed bill entitled “A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 20.18, MAUI COUNTY CODE, RELATING TO PLASTIC BAG REDUCTION.”  The purpose of the revised proposed bill is to:  1) simplify and strengthen the definitions of “plastic bag” and “reusable bag”; 2) exempt plastic bags used for specified purposes from the plastic bag prohibition; 3) repeal the requirement for annual reporting by the Department of Environmental Management; and 4) prohibit businesses from providing prohibited plastic bags to their customers at any time, not just at the point of sale.

 

Status

The Committee may discuss the matter. No legislative action will be taken.
