Assemblyman Calderon explained when he sent the proposal to the legislative committee, health and safety code penalties were automatically tacked on, making it a misdemeanor punishable by six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for dine-in restaurants caught offering plastic straws without being requested. “I didn't actually ask for penalties," Calderon said. "They were more or less prescribed to my bill by the code section."
Assemblyman Travis Allen, a Republican said "This is one absurd bill, but it highlights how ridiculous the California Democrats have gotten. This is clearly the last straw."
