MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Philip Levine and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Commissioner Michael Grieco
DATE: October 22, 2014
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, SUPPORTING THE STATE LEGISLATURE'S EFFORTS
TO AMEND SECTION 403.7033, UNDER HOUSE BILL 1257 AND COMPANION
SENATE BILL 830, WHICH AMENDMENTS WOULD PROVIDE FOR LOCAL
REGULATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF PLASTIC BAGS UNDER THE STATE'S
PROPOSED GUIDELINES; ALTERNATIVELY, SHOULD THE STATUTE NOT BE
AMENDED, THE CITY COMMISSION REQUESTS THE REPEAL OF SECTION
403.7033, FLORIDA STATUTES, SO THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE NO
LONGER PREEMPTED FROM ENACTING APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION
RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF PLASTIC BAGS.
The City is extremely active and diligent in the efforts to preserve the beautiful
environment that supports the tourism industry which is so vital to the economy of the City,
Miami-Dade County and the State of Florida. As we are all aware, the use of plastic bags are
detrimental to our community because they do not fully degrade in our oceans or land
environment and they introduce unsafe chemicals into our environment. Further, plastic bags
create the potential for death of(land) and marine animals through entanglement and ingestion.
Moreover, the expansive usage of single-use shopping bags and their typical disposal
rates creates an impediment to the City's waste reduction and recycling goals while creating
unsightly litter. The continued utilization of the single-use plastic bags are difficult to recycle and
frequently contaminate material that is processed through the City's curbside recycling and
composting programs. Reusable bags are considered to be the best option to reduce waste
and litter, protect wildlife and conserve resources.
Based upon the foregoing, it is in the public interest for the City Commission to
encourage and enable the location of a viable reusable bag manufacturing operation in the
State of Florida, and the Florida Legislature to provide statewide deregulation of the proliferation
of single-use shopping bags.
The Florida Legislature under"The Energy, Climate Change, and Economic Security Act
of 2008", enacted House Bill 7135, creating Section 403.7033, Florida Statutes, which requires
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to perform an analysis and submit a
report to the Legislature by February 1, 2010 regarding the necessity and efficacy of both
statewide and local regulation of bags used by consumers to carry products from retail
establishments. The statute also provides that until such time that the Legislature adopts the
Agenda Item 7 _
Date 10- 7-1(/
Revisions to 403.7033, F.S., Resolution
Page 2 of 2
recommendations of DEP, no local or state government may enact any regulation or tax on the
use of such retail bags. The DEP analysis determined a need for new or different regulations of
bags used by customers to carry products from retail establishments and recommend the
implementation of new standards requiring the prohibition of plastic carryout bags encourages
the use of reusable bags is to the benefit of the State's environment.
This year House Bill 1257 was proposed in the state legislature, along with companion
Senate Bill 830, which bills propose: an amendment to Section 403.7033; which would provide
legislative findings; deleting obsolete provisions; create definitions; create statewide standards
for reusable bags and recyclable paper bags for stores located within a county or municipality
that adopts ordinances pursuant to the statute; would require affected stores to charge
customers a fee for each recyclable paper bag provided; would prohibit affected stores from
providing plastic carryout bags or other types of bags; would provide for the allocation of fees
collected, reporting requirements for affected stores; and authorizing local governments to
impose a penalty and create ordinances to regulate the use of carryout bags to adopt
ordinances pursuant to the statute. Through the proposed bills, the Legislature has indicated a
legislative belief that it is necessary and appropriate to adopt uniform statewide standards
prohibiting the use of plastic carryout bags, which would authorize local governments to adopt
these regulation by local ordinance. The bill is being amended and has not been enacted
encourage the Mayor and City Commission to support me in the the effort to petition
the legislature to amend Section 403.7033, under both House Bill 1257 and the companion
Senate Bill 830; and support the enactment of the bills, and, alternatively, requests that Section
403.7033, Florida Statutes, be repealed, so that the City of Miami beach and other local
governments can enact appropriate legislation relating to the regulation of plastic bags.
