An Act restricting distribution of single-use plastic straws

This bill restricts the distribution of single-use plastic straws in food establishments. It requires restaurants, cafes, and other food service businesses to provide plastic straws only when a customer specifically requests one. Businesses violating this rule face a written warning for the first offense, then fines up to $25 per day (max $300 annually) for repeated violations. The law specifically targets plastic straws made from petroleum or plant-based plastics, while allowing alternatives like paper, bamboo, or wood straws. It directly affects food businesses operating under state food codes.
