HB 160 is a bill to repeal HB407, a Montana law passed in 2021 that prohibits citizen initiatives and local governments from regulating unnecessary single-use plastics such as carryout bags and polystyrene cups. HB 160 supports local governments’ ability to regulate and to protect citizens from the harms of unnecessary single-use plastics. Allowing local control is critical for climate momentum to take place.
HB 160 (Rep. Ed Stafman, D-Bozeman) repeals this law so that Montanans can use their local governments to protect their right to a clean and healthful environment with prudent policies on single-use plastics.
