ANNAPOLIS — The Prince George’s County House delegation has passed a local bag tax, clearing the way for county officials to establish their own fee on bags similar to other jurisdictions in the region.

Lawmakers expect the bill will easily pass the county’s Senate delegation as well, allowing the Prince George’s County Council to establish a tax on disposable plastic and paper bags.
