ORS 459A.876 limits when restaurants and convenience stores may distribute single-use plastic straws, requiring customer request first.
Oregon's straws-on-request law, enacted via HB 2883 in 2019, took effect January 1, 2020. Restaurants, food carts, and similar establishments cannot proactively provide single-use plastic straws to dine-in customers; the customer must request one. Drive-through and convenience stores may include plastic straws only if a customer specifically asks. The law does not ban biodegradable, paper, or compostable straws and exempts patrons with disabilities who require a flexible plastic straw. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality provides educational outreach and progressive enforcement, with civil penalties for repeat violators.
First and second violations are warnings; third and subsequent violations carry civil penalties up to $25 per day.
