Are Plastic Straws Banned in Florida?
Florida went the other way — HB 771 blocked local governments from banning plastic straws.
Florida lawmakers have taken a stand against the plastic straw ban. Despite the apparent implications of single-use plastics to the environment, the Florida senate passed HB 771 to restrict local governments from enforcing any ordinance to ban plastic straws until July 2024.
As environmental advocates, we know that this kind of news sucks! 'Though we've got no control over this bill, we can still do our part by switching to organic drinking straws even without a law being implemented.

FAQs
Florida plastic straw rules
No statewide ban. In fact, HB 771 went the opposite direction — it preempted (blocked) local governments from enforcing plastic-straw bans. That preemption was set to expire in July 2024, so check your local government's current policy.
Because the HB 771 preemption was scheduled to sunset in July 2024, local rules may now vary. Always confirm with your city or county before assuming straws are unrestricted.
