This law, codified as RCW 70A.530, expressly <br />preempts local ordinances. The state law is expected to go into effect Oct. 1, 2021. <br />Since our local ordinance regulating reusable carryout bags is preempted by the new <br />State Law, Ordinance No. 3643-18 should be repealed. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br /> Adopt an Ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 3643-18 regarding reusable bags. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
