|---|
| 14 | 14 | | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | Current law limits the authority of a political subdivision to regulate auxiliary |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | containers. “Auxiliary container" is defined as “a bag, cup, bottle, can, or other |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | packaging that is designed to be reusable or single-use; that is made of cloth, paper, |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | plastic, cardboard, corrugated material, aluminum, glass, postconsumer recycled |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | material, or similar material or substrates, including coated, laminated, or |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | multi-layer substrates; and that is designed for transporting or protecting |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | merchandise, food, or beverages from a food service or retail facility.” Specifically, |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | with certain exceptions, a political subdivision may not 1) enact or enforce an |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | ordinance regulating the use, disposition, or sale of auxiliary containers; 2) prohibit |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | or restrict auxiliary containers; or 3) impose a fee, charge, or surcharge on auxiliary |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | containers. This bill eliminates these restrictions on the authority of a political |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | subdivision to regulate auxiliary containers. |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | enact as follows: |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | SECTION 1. 66.0419 of the statutes is repealed. |
