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.

Wow, California is lost... A law to make plastic straws illegal to hand out? wow, just wow... And yet you clowns here in SBY can't see why our country is gone to shit...
OMG. I have no words. California needs to get out of our country. Let them stand on their own and watch them fall. (map)
We used to be free
Solution: bring back paper straws.
What's the penalty for a glass of water, life in prison with no chance of parole????
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.
