Stupid plastic bag ban

Talk about overreach.  Now Washington State is going to be just like California, no matter how stupidly.  In the Legislature's bill digest we find the following:

SB 5323 Would prohibit- a retail establishment from:

(1) Providing to a customer or a person at an event:
    (a) A single-use plastic carryout  bag;  or
    (b)  a  paper  carryout  bag  or  reusable carryout bag made of film plastic that does not meet recycled content requirements; and

(2)  Using  or  providing  certain  polyethylene  or  other noncompostable plastic bags.Authorizes a retail establishment to provide a reusable carryout bag or a recycled content paper carryout bag of any size to a customer at the point of sale.

SB 5323 Would require  a  retail  establishment  to  collect  a  pass-through charge of not less than ten cents for every recycled content paper carryout bag or reusable carryout bag made of film plastic it provides.

SB 5323 Would prohibit a city, town, county, or municipal corporation from implementing a local carryout bag ordinance.

SB 5323 Would provide that this act is null and void if appropriations are not approved.  Feh.
