California voters approved Proposition 67, the statewide Single-Use Carryout Bag Ban

This new State law is in effect and most grocery stores, retail stores with a pharmacy, convenience stores, food marts and liquor stores no longer provide single-use plastic carry-out bags to their customers. Instead, reusable grocery bags or recycled paper bags are available for customers to purchase for a fee of at least 10 cents. More information regarding Proposition 67 can be found at calrecycle.ca.gov
