Sims always wear bags

ctrl+shift+C and enter without the <>'s in the box. Then shift and click on the mailbox and choose instant repeal NAP's and select it from the list. This will also let you choose a new one to replace it with by doing the same thing but choosing Instant inact NAP's. Hope this helps. Some of them I just hate.

I also go to settings options menu and choose the option that says only my active family can vote on NAP's because the community chooses terrible ones.

The cheat codes described above are a good quick fix if you don't want to bother doing it in-game.

The in-game way to repeal the NAP is to click the mailbox and select "repeal neighborhood action plan". You then have to get 5 signatures from other sims in your neighborhood who also want to repeal the NAP. You can even have a NAP repeal party on the weekend if you want. It's still a cinch compared to RL activism ;) And if you do remember to vote during the next voting period, it's stupidly easy to get whatever NAP you want enacted, as you probably have gained enough influence through gameplay to outvote all the townies put together.

Get rid of it? I consider that a welcome attribute in my game

Thanks @duhboy2u2 & @mightysprite I took the easy way out and shift clicked the bags away. I also didn't know about the game setting to only allow the active family to be the only vote that counts. Thanks so much!

I'll tell ya, i wouldn't mind seeing that particular NAP done away with altogether. it adds nothing to the game and one teenage bag wearing crazy is enough in the game. it's completely unoriginal and off putting when everyone is doing it.
