Bill Summary

Prohibits public schools from selling certain caffeinated drinks to children

AI Summary

This bill prohibits public school districts and charter schools that receive state funding from selling beverages containing more than 100 milligrams of caffeine to students enrolled in their schools. To provide context, 100 milligrams of caffeine is approximately the amount found in a standard cup of coffee or two cans of cola, and the restriction would apply to all beverages sold on school premises. The bill aims to limit students' caffeine intake during school hours by preventing the sale of highly caffeinated drinks, potentially as part of broader efforts to promote healthier beverage choices for children. The proposed legislation would amend Chapter 167 of the Missouri Revised Statutes by adding a new section specifically addressing caffeinated beverage sales in educational settings.
