This bill mandates that all Halloween costumes intended for children must include reflective material, either attached to the costume or packaged with it for later attachment by the buyer. The definition of "reflective material" encompasses items such as reflective tape, fabric, and decorative patches that enhance visibility in low-light conditions. The legislation aims to improve safety for children during Halloween by increasing their visibility to motorists, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.

Violators of this requirement will face penalties, with a fine of up to $500 for the first offense and up to $1,000 for subsequent offenses. 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. This initiative aligns with recommendations from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, which emphasizes the importance of visibility in preventing Halloween-related injuries.
