Additional Information
First city in Florida to ban plastic bags. (AS OF AUGUST 2022) The city won't repeal the ordinances, but it will suspend enforcement of the plastic bag and polystyrene bans at restaurants and other businesses. The city can continue to require vendors, contractors, and special-event organizers to comply with the ban. And the city itself will continue purchasing alternatives.
