Allows certain reusable beverage containers in sports venues

This bill allows attendees at professional or collegiate sports events to bring certain reusable beverage containers (aluminum or stainless steel bottles/cups) into sports venues. Venues cannot ban these containers but may require them to be empty, without caps, or holding no more than 24 ounces. Sports venues violating the law face civil penalties of up to $500 for a first offense and $750 for subsequent violations. The bill directly affects sports venues and event attendees by changing container policies at games.
