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.
