RI General Assembly approves bill curtailing plastic straw use


The General Assembly today approved legislation sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Michael J. McCaffrey and House Environment and Natural Resources Committee Chairman David A. Bennett to cut down on disposable plastic straw use in Rhode Island.
The bill (2021-S 0155A, 2021-H 5131A), which would take effect Jan. 1, would not be an outright ban, but would prohibit food service establishments from providing single-use plastic straws unless requested by the consumer. It would also not prevent people with disabilities, some of whom need straws, from getting them.
California has a similar law, and many municipalities have also adopted limits or bans.
The legislation now heads to the governor. ....

A pro-second-amendment supporter outside of the Rhode Island State Capitol, where bills that would either expand gun rights or seek to control firearms were debated on March 13, 2021.
PROVIDENCE In close committee votes Monday, the Rhode Island House and Senate advanced bills that would outlaw “straw purchases” of guns and prohibit firearms on school grounds, but a legislator withdrew another gun bill after it was “gutted.”
House and Senate leaders had reached agreement on four gun bills that appeared to be headed to a final vote in the waning days of this year’s legislative session, including a bill that would require enhanced reporting by the attorney general on gun crimes. ....
