California Senate Bill 270 bans single-use plastic carryout bags at Moorpark grocery stores, pharmacies, and large retailers. Reusable bags or recycled paper bags carry a minimum 10-cent charge per bag.
California Senate Bill 270, ratified by voters in 2016, prohibits grocery stores, pharmacies, convenience stores, and large retailers from providing single-use plastic carryout bags at checkout. Moorpark stores like Vons, Ralphs, Target, and Walmart must offer either reusable bags meeting state durability standards or recycled-content paper bags, charging at least 10 cents per bag. The fee is retained by the retailer to offset compliance costs. Produce bags, meat bags, and bulk-item bags inside the store remain allowed. Restaurants providing takeout are exempt. New 2025 amendments under SB 1053 will further tighten requirements, eliminating thicker plastic reusable bags at grocery checkout.
Stores providing prohibited single-use plastic bags face civil penalties of up to $1,000 for the first violation, $2,000 for the second, and $5,000 for repeat offenses under state attorney general enforcement.
