Maddy summaryThis bill regulates slushies containing 0.5% to 5% alcohol by volume (ABV), treating them as "frozen desserts" rather than standard alcoholic beverages. It requires retailers to sell these products only in sealed packages with specific age restrictions and health warnings (e.g., "Sale to under 21 prohibited" and pregnancy/impairment notices), and to display mandatory signage. Manufacturers must provide written compliance notices to retailers with each shipment. The law directly affects businesses selling slushies made with alcohol (like beer or wine) at low ABV levels, ensuring consistent labeling and age verification while clarifying these products aren’t classified as "alcoholic beverages" under most regulations.
