Kansas Bag Ban, Fee & EPR Rules
Verified: July 18, 2026
Bag Ban Status
No statewide bag ban and no enacted statewide preemption. Auxiliary-container preemption bills (HB 2446 in both the 2022 and 2023-24 sessions) were vetoed by Gov. Kelly and the vetoes were sustained, so no operative preemption statute exists.
Plastic Bag Restrictions
No statewide restriction; no enacted preemption statute. Local jurisdictions may regulate.
Paper Bag Requirements
None.
Recycled Content (PCR)
None.
Fees & Taxation
None.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
No EPR.
Local Ordinances
Lawrence adopted a single-use plastic bag ban effective March 1, 2024 — it remains enforceable because state preemption was never enacted.
Key Dates
n/a — no enacted statewide bag legislation (HB 2446 vetoed 2022; vetoed again 2024, veto sustained).
