Florida HB 771 (2019) imposed a moratorium on local plastic straw bans, later effectively continued. Miami-Dade restricts plastic straws only at county-owned beaches, parks, and facilities under proprietary authority. Private restaurants countywide may freely provide plastic straws.
Florida's 2019 HB 771 imposed a five-year moratorium on local plastic straw regulations and required state study, effectively preempting bans in private commerce. Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation prohibits plastic straws at county parks and beaches as proprietor under prior resolutions and concessionaire contract terms. Constituent cities including Miami Beach have similar property-only restrictions. Private restaurants and bars countywide may distribute plastic straws without penalty; many voluntarily switched to paper or PLA after consumer pressure. Federal ADA accommodations require alternatives for guests with disabilities even at venues that limit plastic straws.
Concessionaires at county parks distributing plastic straws may lose vendor permits or face contract default; private operators face no county or city fines.
