Summary

SB 869 adds a requirement that chain restaurants with 20 or more locations must place a sugar‑cube‑in‑a‑triangle icon next to any standard beverage that contains at least half of the daily recommended added sugar amount. The icon must appear on all menu formats and be accompanied by a factual warning at the point of selection. The law aims to give consumers clearer information about sugary drinks and creates a new state‑mandated local program, with reimbursement rules for local agencies.
