California bill would make it illegal for servers to hand out plastic straws unless asked

Sacramento, CA (KGTV) — A California lawmaker is facing criticism for a bill that, if passed, would make it illegal for servers to offer plastic straws unless asked.

The law makes providing a straw without being asked punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

The bill was introduced by Majority Leader Ian Calderon last week.

The law wouldn’t apply to bars or fast-food restaurants, but only to sit-down restaurants.

Calderon said the law would eventually be amended to eliminate the extremely harsh penalties.

California is the dumb, dumber and dumbest of all states. Let them become a separate country like they keep threatening. We won't have to support them with our tax dollars.
