The proposed legislation, known as the "Better Straws Act," seeks to formally incorporate Executive Order 14208 into federal law. This executive order specifically addresses the cessation of the procurement and mandated use of paper straws by government entities. By codifying this order, the bill would ensure that its provisions, which relate to ending the forced use and acquisition of paper straws, are given the full force and effect of statutory law. This action would make the directives of Executive Order 14208 a permanent part of the legal framework, rather than a temporary executive directive.
