Relating to checkout bags.

HB 3787 prohibits Oregon restaurants and retail stores from providing reusable plastic checkout bags to customers. Instead, businesses must charge at least 5 cents for reusable fabric or recycled paper checkout bags, though they may offer these for free under limited circumstances (e.g., to customers using WIC vouchers or electronic benefits cards). The bill defines "reusable plastic checkout bag" as durable plastic at least four mils thick and clarifies that single-use bags remain restricted under existing law. It also prevents local governments from creating stricter bag rules than the state law, though they may require higher fees than the 5-cent minimum. This bill directly affects all retail and food service businesses operating in Oregon.
