There was never any doubt that this would take time, given the inevitable industry resistance, but we got the statewide single-use plastic produce bag ban passed some years back against similar resistance (and an initiative campaign), and individual cities are moving on straws and cups. Proponents will try again come the new legislative session. In the meantime we've got a couple of smaller bills for recycling and reducing the % of virgin plastic content allowed that did pass, and the governor will likely sign them.
