Ohio House Bill 242 preempts local plastic bag bans and fees, requiring uniform statewide treatment of auxiliary containers including plastic bags.
House Bill 242 took effect in 2021, codified in ORC 3767.32 and related sections, prohibiting political subdivisions from imposing taxes or fees on, or banning the use or sale of, auxiliary containers. The law was extended after an initial expiration to remain in effect indefinitely after passage of additional legislation. It blocked Cuyahoga County's plastic bag fee and similar measures in other municipalities. Auxiliary containers include plastic bags, cups, packages, and bottles used for transporting goods.
Local plastic bag bans or fees are unenforceable, and municipalities may face declaratory or injunctive relief.
