California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed into law a ban on single-use plastic toiletries from all hotels within the state. The new regulations will go into effect in 2023 for hotels with 50 or more rooms; smaller hotels will have an additional year to remove the tiny bottles of plastic.
The move will affect over 526,000 hotel rooms in the Bear Republic.
Proposed in the state assembly earlier this year, the new law carries a fine of $500 for the first offense, and $2,000 for each subsequent violation. According to the bill’s author, San Jose Assemblymember Ash Kathra, the new law makes the Golden State the first in the nation to ban single-use toiletries from hotel rooms.
