Subject: Support HB 4299 to Restore Local Control Over Plastic Regulation
Dear [Representative/Senator Last Name],
I’m writing as a constituent to urge you to support House Bill 4299, which would repeal the 2016 ban on local regulation of single-use plastics in Michigan.
This bill is an important step toward environmental responsibility. Communities across Michigan should have the right to make decisions that protect their local ecosystems, especially when it comes to reducing plastic waste that threatens the Great Lakes, our wildlife, and our water systems.
HB 4299 empowers local governments to address plastic pollution in ways that are responsive to the needs of their communities. I encourage you to vote in favor of this legislation and help restore local leadership in protecting our environment.
Thank you for your service and commitment to a cleaner, healthier Michigan.
Sincerely,

Subject: Please support HB 4299 and restore local environmental control
Dear [Representative/Senator Last Name],
As your constituent, I’m urging you to support House Bill 4299. This legislation would allow local governments in Michigan to regulate or ban single-use plastics again, repealing the 2016 law that stripped them of that authority.
Plastic pollution harms our communities, clogs waterways, and threatens the health of the Great Lakes. Local leaders should have the ability to protect their environments based on the unique needs of their residents.
Please vote yes on HB 4299 and help return environmental decision-making power to local governments. This is a step toward stronger, cleaner, and more sustainable communities across Michigan.
Thank you for your leadership.
Sincerely,
