Connecticut,
Delaware,
Hawaii,
Maine,
New Jersey,
New York,
Oregon,
Rhode Island,
Vermont,
Washington,
the territories of American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, United States Virgin Islands

Out in suburban NY, same. I think the supermarkets charge you $0.05 each for them, but I am not sure because I've gotten my reusable bag reflexes well trained.
But butcher shops, delis etc. still give you stuff in them. I repurpose the ones I get that way as wastebasket liners.
