HB 2798 - DIGEST

Establishes the sugar-sweetened beverages safety warning act.

Prohibits a person from distributing, selling, or offering for sale a sugar-sweetened beverage in a sealed container, a multipack of sugar-sweetened beverages in sealed containers, or a syrup or powder in packaging that is intended for retail sale unless the container or packaging bears a specific safety warning.

Requires every person who owns, leases, or otherwise controls the premises where a vending machine or beverage dispensing machine is located, or where a sugar-sweetened beverage is sold in an unsealed container, to place a safety warning in certain locations.

Requires the department of health to develop and conduct a retailer outreach and education program designed to inform businesses about the requirements of this act and provide retailers with examples of compliant safety warnings.
