For the past few years needing a bag already came with a 10¢ charge per bag for either paper or plastic. This law just bans stores from offering the “reusable” plastic bags, which were near identical to the standard ones, just 5-10x thicker and supposedly having a rating of 125+ reuses.
Those bags were still sub-par quality, supplied in bulk, and rarely used more than once other than for filling with refuse. That previous law never made much sense.
What tax?
