Os legisladores do Maine estão considerando leis para reverter os regulamentos sobre papel e sacos plásticos. Maine lawmakers are considering bills to roll back regulations on paper and plastic bags. Um projeto de lei visa eliminar a taxa de cinco centavos em sacos de papel, enquanto outro busca revogar as restrições sobre os sacos de papel e plástico. One bill aims to eliminate the five-cent fee on paper bags, while another seeks to repeal restrictions on both paper and plastic bags. Isso provocou debate, com os defensores argumentando que as regras atuais são onerosas e os oponentes destacando os benefícios ambientais. This has sparked debate, with supporters arguing the current rules are burdensome and opponents highlighting environmental benefits. As contas serão revistas pelo Comitê de Meio Ambiente e Recursos Naturais. The bills will be reviewed by the Environment and Natural Resources Committee.
