On Thursday, August 28th, the California Assembly approved SB270, a bill to ban single-use plastic shopping bags and put a fee on paper bags. The bill then headed to the Senate for a concurrence on August 29th and is now on Governor Jerry Brown's desk for a final sign-off. This precedent-setting bill is the first bag ban to make it through a state legislature!
