Bill > A03424

This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law and the General Business Law to prohibit restaurants and third-party food delivery services from providing certain single-use plastic items, such as straws, stirrers, and splash sticks, to customers unless explicitly requested. It requires these establishments to provide options for customers to request single-use items when placing orders, with the default being no items. The bill also sets civil penalties for violations and directs local health departments to enforce these new requirements.
