It’s called the CCSC License (California Concealed Straw Carry), and you can bet your sippy-cup it will be tough bitch to get.
Normally it’s a crime to carry either a ‘full or an empty’ straw in public in California. It doesn’t matter whether you are carrying a concealed straw or one that is openly carried or displayed in a beverage.
Unless you have a CCSC (California Concealed Straw Carry) license, publicly carrying a straw in California is against the law… period.
But you may be issued a permit to carry “a straw, flexible or fixed, or other flexible sipping impliment capable of being concealed upon the person” if:
And don’t forget your $Million $Dollar Humane Safe Straw Storage and Disposal Guarantee Bond. Don’t leave home without it.

All that’s left is to pick the carcass clean. California’s liberal Democratic leaders seem determined to destroy the once Golden State of California and the Dream of many Americans. Broke, mismanaged, in economic decline, over taxed and stifled 
by out of control, crazy social policies, the state has sunk so low that it has turned to selling drugs to try and make ends meet.
So how is California trying to fix the problems? They are threatening employers with jail for following Federal Laws! Here’s the Gateway Pundit’s headline, “CRAZED California AG Threatens CHARGES Against Employers Aiding ICE Raids On Illegal Aliens“. What are California’s Leaders saying? You help ICE, and we’re arresting you. Illegals? Not so much.
How bad is it? Let’s take a 10 minute bike ride through Orange County, home of “The Real Housewives of Orange County“, and see what a ‘Shithole’ the Democrats have wrought.
Gov. Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, was well aware that the Oroville Dam needed extensive, costly repairs and upgrades, but with the “Climate Change” drought turning California into sandy wasteland, why 
bother? Besides, the Governor needed the money to provide all those goodies that the State’s Illegal Immigrant population has come to expect and demand. After all, it was California’s job to make sure Hillary’s ‘popular votes’ would be around when she needed them.
But AGW-Climate Change-Global Warming (AKA: Weather), turn out to be just weather. It rained again in California. Ooops. That deferred maintenance does add up. Read what The Mercury News reports.
More than a decade ago, federal and state officials and some of California’s largest water agencies rejected concerns that the massive earthen spillway at Oroville Dam — at risk of collapse Sunday night and prompting the evacuation of 185,000 people — could erode during heavy winter rains and cause a catastrophe.
FERC rejected that request, however, after the state Department of Water Resources, and the water agencies that would likely have had to pay the bill for the upgrades, said they were unnecessary. Those agencies included the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which provides water to 19 million people in Los Angeles, San Diego and other areas, along with the State Water Contractors, an association of 27 agencies that buy water from the state of California through the State Water Project.
