Summary

The bill bans any advertisement for a sugary beverage on property owned by the state, a county or a municipal corporation unless it carries a specific health warning. The warning must be bold, boxed and highly visible, and the law allows a $1,000 civil penalty for each day the ad is displayed without it. It aims to inform the public—especially children—about the health risks of added sugars.
