Maine lawmakers are set to debate two new bills aimed at rolling back regulations on paper and plastic bags. One bill proposes eliminating the five-cent fee on paper grocery bags, while the other seeks to repeal the state’s restrictions on paper and plastic bags entirely

The bills have been referred to the Environment and Natural Resources Committee for further consideration during the upcoming legislative session.
