Utah Code 11-39-110 preempts local regulation of plastic straws and similar single-use service items as auxiliary containers under state law.
While the statute focuses on broader auxiliary containers, Utah's preemption framework extends to single-use service items including plastic straws when localities attempt material-based bans or fees. Local governments may not enact ordinances requiring on-request-only straw service or banning plastic straws outright if framed as material composition restrictions. Restaurants and food service operators may voluntarily adopt paper or alternative straws. State law allows generally applicable solid waste reduction policies that do not single out specific container compositions. Disability access for flexible plastic straws remains protected under federal accessibility requirements.
Local straw bans framed as composition-based restrictions are void; businesses may challenge enforcement and seek injunctive relief from courts.
