AI Summary
This bill aims to expand the state's bottle deposit law to include "nip" bottles (miniature alcoholic beverage containers) and certain other containers. Specifically, it amends the definition of "beverage" and "beverage container" to include miniature alcoholic beverages, and increases the deposit value from 1 cent to 3 cents per container. The bill also prohibits political subdivisions (cities and towns) from banning the sale of miniatures, except for those that had already adopted such bans prior to the effective date of the legislation.
