<Section repealed Jan. 1, 2027.>

(a)(1) An applicant for a new permanent on-sale general public premises (Type 48) license or the holder of an existing Type 48 license shall, upon request, provide a lid with a customer's drink.  For purposes of this section, “lid” means a removable cover of any size that attaches to the rim of a beverage.  The lid is not required to fit all containers in which alcoholic beverages are served on the premises but shall fit at least one.

(2) A licensee subject to this subdivision shall post the following notice in a prominent and conspicuous location:

“Don't get roofied! Drink lids and drink spiking drug test kits available here.  Ask a staff member for details.”

(b) The licensee may charge an additional fee for providing a lid with a customer's drink, which shall not exceed a reasonable amount based on the wholesale cost of those lids.

(c) This section does not prevent a Type 48 licensee from offering lids to their customers free of charge.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 25617, a violation of this section is not a crime.

(e) A sole violation of this section, including the notice requirement in this section, shall result only in a warning by the department for the first offense.

(f) This section shall become operative July 1, 2025, and shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2027, and as of that date is repealed.
