California Assembly Bill 1884 bans Moorpark full-service restaurants from automatically providing plastic straws. Customers must specifically ask. Violations bring escalating warnings before fines kick in.
Assembly Bill 1884, effective 2019, prohibits dine-in restaurants in California from automatically providing single-use plastic straws to customers. Moorpark sit-down restaurants like those along New Los Angeles Avenue and at Mission Bell Plaza must wait for a customer request before offering a straw. Quick-service and takeout-only establishments are exempted from the state law. Many Moorpark restaurants have voluntarily switched to paper or compostable straws regardless. The law applies only to plastic straws and does not affect cocktail picks, stirrers, or condiment cups. First and second violations bring written warnings; third and subsequent violations carry $25 daily fines capped at $300 annually.
Restaurants providing unrequested plastic straws receive a warning for the first two violations, then $25 daily fines starting on the third citation, with annual fines capped at $300 per facility.
