Federal facilities would permanently stop buying and requiring paper straws
A new bill would make an existing presidential order about paper straws a permanent law. This means federal agencies and contractors would be legally required to end the use of paper straws. Anyone who visits federal buildings would encounter non-paper straws or no straws at all.
Today, an Executive Order tells federal agencies to stop buying and requiring paper straws, but this order could be changed by a future president. If this bill passes, that order would become a permanent law. This means federal agencies would be legally required to follow these rules, making them much harder to change in the future.
