The bill, if passed, would try to cut down on plastic waste and would go into effect in 2023, according to KCBS.
The bill crossed one hurdle when it passed the Natural Resources Committee last week, passing 6-3 with two lawmakers not voting, KOVR reported.
AB1162 is based on a law from Santa Cruz that bans single-use toiletry bottles in lodging establishments starting on Dec. 31, 2020.
There will be a fine set if the bill becomes law, but the amount has not been decided. There is a recommended fine of $500 for second and additional violations, with the total not exceeding $2,000 a year, KOVR reported.
