California plastic bag ban

California may be the first US state to implement a ban on single use plastic shopping bags after the state Senate approved a related bill today.

A bill by Assemblywoman Julia Brownley to ban the bags received the "unprecedented support" of stakeholders; including the California Grocers Association and the United Food and Commercial Workers.
The bill, AB 1998, bans all single-use bags sold in supermarkets, drug, convenience and liquor stores. However, if shoppers forget to bring their re-useable shopping bags (something I was prone to do until recently) they will have access to recycled paper bags - at a cost; a minimum of 5 cents a pop.

The ban will start with larger stores on Jan. 1, 2012, expanding to smaller retailers starting July 1, 2013.
AB 1998 was approved by the Assembly Appropriations Committee on May 28 and was passed by the Senate on June 4th, 2010.
