A Florida Senate committee Monday will consider a proposal that would prevent local governments from regulating distribution of plastic straws. The Senate bill would restrict restaurants and other establishments to only providing single-use straws if the straws are requested by customers. But that restriction would not apply to such things as take-out orders, delivery orders and orders placed with apps. An identical bill  has been filed in the House. There is an on-going national debate about discarded straws causing pollution problems in oceans and other areas.
