Oklahoma governor signs law banning bans on plastic bags
By Chris Mills Rodrigo - 04/24/19 01:57 PM EDT


Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) has reportedly signed a law banning bans and fines on plastic bags.

"I want to make sure I make it easy for industry to do business in Oklahoma," Stitt said at the bill-signing on Tuesday, according to KFOR in Oklahoma City.

The bill blocks municipalities from banning or putting a tax on auxiliary containers made of plastic, cloth, paper, cardboard, aluminum and glass, the station noted, adding that Stitt stressed regulatory consistency in signing the measure.

"I just don't think that we should be putting laws and rules on business from 500 municipalities," he said, according to KFOR.

The legislation, which was approved by the state House and Senate, comes shortly after Norman, Okla., announced plans to put a 5 cent tax on single-use plastic bags.
