I live in New Jersey, and I suspect the law of unintended consequences is going to come in hard on this one. The stores all sell cheap reusable bags so that customers don't get caught in line with nothing to carry their goods in. I've bought two so far. If the bag is in the car you obviously have to remember to take it into the store with you. If you carry the bag into your house with your groceries then you have to remember to put it back in the car. If you fail to do either of those things you'll probably buy another $.30 reusable bag at checkout, which you'll then carry into the house with your goods. I suspect people will accumulate a lot of bags, and I can't help wondering why some recycling chain involving paper bags would not have been a better solution. I'm no expert and presumably there's a reason.
