HB 1325 prohibits the sale of energy drinks containing over 150mg of caffeine per liter to anyone under 18 years old and requires age verification for sales. It directly affects minors (under 18) and businesses selling energy drinks, including retailers and employees handling such products. Key provisions include administrative fines ($100-$300 depending on offenses), driver’s license suspension for unpaid fines within 90 days, and rules requiring sellers to check ID when a buyer appears under 18. The ABLE Commission enforces the law, mandates parental notification for minor violations, and allows cities to adopt similar local ordinances. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
