An Act promoting the proper disposal of miniatures
HD 3504 defines "miniature" as a small container (≤100ml) made of glass, metal, or plastic, designed specifically for alcoholic beverages. It amends beverage laws to clarify that "miniature" excludes non-alcoholic drinks and biodegradable containers, while specifying that "beverage container" does not include biodegradable materials. The bill directly affects alcohol manufacturers, retailers, and distributors who produce or sell small-volume alcoholic beverage containers. This is a definitional amendment to state law (Chapter 94, Section 321), not a policy change regarding disposal, as the title incorrectly suggests. The summary focuses solely on the legislative text, which redefines terms for regulatory clarity.
