Montgomery County's Bring Your Own Bag (BYOB) law, established by Bill 24-24, takes effect on January 1, 2026. The City of Rockville recently opted into the law, expanding its reach. The law restricts single-use bags and was championed by Councilmember Stewart, who discussed it alongside the Sierra Club at a screening of the documentary 'Plastic People: The Hidden Crisis of Microplastics.'
