California already had banned single use bags. We’ve been posting paying for “reusable” plastic bags for a couple years already. This legislation bans all plastic bags, including the reusable types. Now we get to being bring our own bags, or get paper bags.
I don’t understand… my local Safeway here in California still offers only single use plastic bags. They are a somewhat thick bag but still single-use, not some permanent thing you own.
Hm, well, we use the plastic bag recycling bin at Safeway for all our plastic bags, shrink wrap, and bubble envelopes. We dropped off 8 bags this weekend. I wonder if they will get rid of that bin now?

Yeah, those thicker ones are considered reusable, and therefore are exempt from the single-use plastic bag ban. This legislation closes that loophole.
Ooooookay thanks.

Gotcha. I guess no schadenfreude is on the horizon. Oh well
