California governor Jerry Brown has signed into law the first statewide ban of plastic straws.

It’s not a complete ban on plastic straws, but rather a ban on full-service restaurants automatically handing patrons a plastic straw for their beverage. The law does not apply to takeout and fast-food restaurants or coffee and tea houses like Starbucks or even your favorite Boba spot.
