from the That's-the-last-straw! dept.

Existing law requires, except as otherwise provided, a person who violates any provision of the code to be guilty of a misdemeanor with each offense punishable by a fine of not less than $25 or more than $1,000, or by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding 6 months, or by both.

This bill would prohibit a food facility, as specified, where food may be consumed on the premises from providing single-use plastic straws to consumers unless requested by the consumer. By creating a new crime and imposing additional enforcement duties on local health agencies, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

    Aaaargh! Correction: She used plastic straws to make single reed instruments, and paper straws to make double reed instruments.

    She used to demonstrate the purpose of finger holes by making an instrument out of a whole straw, and then cutting it off at the appropriate places to produce a scale going up...and then talk about the difficulty in then going down the scale.
