Proposition 65 was aCalifornia ballot proposition on the November 8, 2016 ballot that would have redirected money collected by grocery and certain other retail stores through mandated sale ofcarryout bags, and required stores to deposit bag sale proceeds into a special fund to support specified environmental projects.[2]
Proposition 65 failed by a vote of 46%–54%.[1]
TheProgressive Bag Alliance, aplastic bag manufacturing trade group, backed Proposition 65, but opposedProposition 67, a referendum on Senate Bill 270, which banned plastic shopping bags.[3] With Proposition 67's passage, SB 270 was upheld and went into effect.[4]
