An Act to prohibit the sale of "energy drinks" to persons under the age of 18
This bill prohibits the sale of specific energy drinks and caffeine-containing beverages to people under 18. It targets drinks exceeding 71mg caffeine per 12oz (with taurine/glucuronolactone) or 80mg caffeine per 8oz (classified as unregulated dietary supplements with energy-boosting ingredients). Sellers face escalating fines: $50 for a first offense, $100 for a second, and $250 for a third. The law directly affects retailers and underage consumers by restricting access to these high-caffeine products.
