LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

Existing law prohibits a store, as defined, from providing a precheckout bag, as defined, to a customer unless the precheckout bag is a compostable bag that meets certain criteria or a recycled paper bag. Existing law defines a “precheckout bag” for this purpose to mean a bag provided to a customer before the customer reaches the point of sale, that is designed to protect a purchased item from damaging or contaminating other purchased items in a checkout bag, or to contain an unwrapped food item.
This bill would repeal those provisions.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.
Article 2 (commencing with Section 42281.2) of Chapter 5.3 of Part 3 of Division 30 of the Public Resources Code is repealed.
