California AB 1884 bars full-service restaurants in San Bernardino County and statewide from automatically providing plastic straws; customers must specifically request them at sit-down meals.
Under California Public Resources Code 42270 to 42272, full-service restaurants cannot provide single-use plastic straws unless a customer requests one. The law does not apply to fast-food, drive-thru, or takeout settings, though many SBC operators voluntarily adopt request-only policies countywide. People with disabilities are entitled to plastic straws on request, and operators cannot interrogate customers about disability status. Inspectors visit during routine health checks and issue notices of violation rather than fines for the first two offenses, with stronger enforcement for repeat offenders.
Full-service restaurants giving unsolicited plastic straws receive a written notice for the first two violations, then 25-dollar daily fines up to 300 dollars annually.
