Bill Summary
Relative to the listing of the alcohol by volume for beer selections on menus. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill requires establishments with beer licenses to clearly list the alcohol by volume (ABV) for each beer selection on their menus. ABV is a standard measure that indicates the percentage of alcohol in a beverage, which helps consumers understand the strength of the beer they are ordering. By mandating this information be displayed, the bill aims to provide transparency and help patrons make more informed choices about their alcoholic beverages. The proposed legislation would modify Chapter 138 of the existing law, specifically adding a new section that details this menu labeling requirement for beer licensees. While the specific language of the new section is not provided in the bill text, the intent is to enhance consumer protection by ensuring that beer drinkers have easy access to information about the alcohol content of their potential selections.
