This bill mandates that all Halloween costumes intended for children must include reflective material, either attached to the costume or packaged with it for the buyer to apply. The definition of a child is specified as anyone under 18 years of age, and reflective material is described as highly visible in low light, such as reflective tape or fabric. The legislation aims to enhance the safety of children during Halloween by increasing their visibility to motorists, thereby reducing the risk of accidents in low-light conditions.

Violators of this requirement will face penalties, with a first offense resulting in a fine of up to $500 and subsequent offenses incurring fines of up to $1,000. The bill is set to take effect immediately and will apply to children's Halloween costumes sold on or after November 15 following its enactment. The intent behind this legislation is to address the significant number of Halloween-related injuries reported each year, which often stem from visibility issues, and to promote safer practices for both trick-or-treaters and drivers.
