Proposition 65 was a California ballot proposition on the November 8, 2016 ballot that would have redirected money collected by grocery and certain other retail stores through mandated sale of carryout bags, and required stores to deposit bag sale proceeds into a special fund to support specified environmental projects.
Proposition 65 failed by a vote of 46%–54%.
Proposition 67, a referendum on Senate Bill 270, which bans plastic shopping bags, was upheld and will go into effect.
