LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1383, as amended, McCarty. Sacramento Regional Transit District. Solid waste: carryout bags.

Existing law prohibits stores that have a specified amount of sales in dollars or retail floor space from providing a single-use carryout bag to a customer and prohibits those stores from selling or distributing a reusable grocery bag or a recycled paper bag at the point of sale unless the store makes that bag available for purchase for not less than $0.10. Existing law, notwithstanding any other law, requires these stores to provide to certain customers a reusable grocery bag or recycled paper bag at no cost at the point of sale.

This bill would instead require those stores to provide to those customers multiple reusable grocery bags or recycled paper bags at no cost at the point of sale.

The Sacramento Regional Transit District Act authorizes the Sacramento Regional Transit District to be formed to carry out certain purposes relating to operating a single unified public transportation system in the Sacramento region.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the title of the act.
