Bag ban fees

65 Question: If voters ratify California’s plastic bag ban (Proposition 67), should the proceeds from any fees charged for paper or reusable bags go to a state fund for environmental projects instead of retailers? Money raised for “Yes” campaign: $2.9 million What you should know: As part of the law that banned single-use bags, bag fees can be kept by retailers. This initiative will allow the fees to go to environmental projects instead. This initiative qualified for the ballot thanks to signature gathering efforts paid for by the plastic industry’s trade group, the American Progressive Bag Alliance, which is also seeking to overturn the bag ban.
