The main purpose of this legislation is to formally establish and enforce the directives of Executive Order 14208, which aims to eliminate the requirement for government agencies to purchase and use paper straws. The objective is to provide more flexibility in the types of straws that can be used, potentially allowing for alternatives that may be more practical or environmentally friendly. Key provisions of this legislation include the codification of Executive Order 14208, meaning that the order will now have the full force of law.
