Georgia does not prohibit plastic carryout bags statewide and has not enacted express preemption barring local action, though local bag restrictions remain rare.
Georgia has not adopted a statewide plastic bag ban or fee, and unlike several southern states it has not enacted express preemption forbidding local plastic bag ordinances. Tybee Island and a small number of other jurisdictions have considered local bag rules. Retailers commonly offer plastic and reusable bags. Recycling and waste management requirements under Title 12 (Conservation) apply to disposal. Producers and retailers should monitor local proposals as authority remains contested in the absence of clear preemption language.
No statewide bag-fee penalty exists; local ordinances, where adopted, define their own fines.
