AN ACT AUTHORIZING MUNICIPALITIES TO PROHIBIT THE SALE OF PLASTIC NIP LIQUOR BOTTLES.
SB 646 authorizes cities and towns to ban the sale of plastic "nip" liquor bottles (small, single-serving containers) through a local vote by their legislative body. This bill directly affects municipalities (which can choose to implement the ban) and liquor retailers (who would be prohibited from selling these bottles in affected areas). The key mechanism is a simple local legislative vote, giving communities the power to enact this restriction without state-level action. It does not create a statewide ban but allows local decision-making on this specific product.
