Bill > HB05235

This bill proposes to amend existing state statutes to prohibit the sale of small bottles of alcoholic liquor that are 50 milliliters (approximately 1.7 fluid ounces) or less in volume. These small bottles, often referred to as "nips" or "miniatures," are typically single-serving containers of alcohol commonly sold at convenience stores, liquor stores, and other retail locations. By banning the sale of these small bottles, the legislation aims to address potential public health or social concerns, though the specific rationale is not explicitly stated in the bill text. The proposed change would require retailers to remove these small-volume alcohol containers from their shelves, effectively preventing consumers from purchasing alcoholic beverages in this particular packaging size.
