Baltimore County Council Re-Examines Plastic Bag Ban During Work Session

The ban on single-use plastic bags in Baltimore County starts November 1. While it hasn’t taken effect, Republican Councilman Todd Crandell is looking to make some changes.

Crandell said liquor stores and restaurants shouldn’t charge customers five cents for paper carryout bags. That’s one facet of the upcoming law which he wants addressed now.

“The law goes into effect late this fall,” said the District 7 councilman. “And businesses have to make plans on how they’re going to react and reorganize to do what they need to do.”
