Bill to ban plastic bags

   A 2011-12 Assembly Bill 298 failed due to lobbying by plastic bag manufacturers and grocers in California.

   Assemblyman Marc Levine today announced he will revive a proposal banning all single-use plastic bags in California grocery stores, with an 18 month grace period.

    10% of ocean debris is made up of plastic bags, which are toxic to marine life.
