Nevada has no statewide plastic bag ban or preemption statute, allowing local governments to regulate single-use plastic bags through ordinances.
Nevada has not enacted statewide plastic bag fees, bans, or preemption legislation. Local jurisdictions retain authority to regulate single-use plastic bags as part of their general police power and waste management responsibilities. Some Nevada cities have explored bag fee ordinances. Retailers offering reusable bags must comply with general consumer protection rules under NRS 598. Recycling and waste reduction goals fall under NRS Chapter 444A, which encourages local solid waste planning without preempting bag regulations.
No statewide penalties; violations of local plastic bag ordinances are governed by individual city or county code with administrative fines.
