California State law makers are spearheading an effort to ban those tiny, often complimentary bottles of shampoo and conditioner offered at hotels and resorts across the state, arguing that they are terrible for the environment.
Under the proposed legislation, lodging sites across the state, including vacation rentals, would be prohibited from providing guests with any “small plastic bottle containing a personal care product,” and would be penalized with first a warning, then a fine of $500 per violation.
Hotels and inns within the county are encouraged to switch to bulk dispensers by the end of 2020.
