New California laws going into effect in 2026 impact tortillas, streaming services and more
“SAN FRANCISCO — Hundreds of new laws are taking effect in California in the new year. Here is a partial list.”
(SB 1053) Plastic Bag Ban
Plastic bags are on the way out in California. The state is expanding its ban on single-use plastic bags to include all plastic bags. The original law allowed the use of thicker plastic bags which were meant to be reusable, but since most consumers used them only once, those thicker bags are now being outlawed as well. Starting January 1, consumers will have to buy a bag made of recycled paper or use their own reusable bags.
