Georgia has no statewide ban or upon-request rule for plastic straws, leaving food service operators free to provide single-use straws under standard health rules.
Georgia law does not regulate the distribution of single-use plastic straws by food service establishments. Restaurants and bars may freely provide straws without restriction. Health code requirements under Title 26 (Food, Drugs, and Cosmetics) and Department of Public Health rules govern food contact materials. Federal ADA accommodations require flexible straws when requested by guests with disabilities, regardless of any local upon-request rule. Local sustainability initiatives exist but lack statewide mandate.
No statewide straw-ban penalties; food code and ADA compliance still apply to operations.
