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 attach. The definition of a child is specified as anyone under 18 years of age, and reflective material is described as items like reflective tape or fabric that enhance visibility in low light conditions. The bill aims to improve safety for children during Halloween by making them more visible 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. The legislation is in response to concerns raised by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission regarding the high number of Halloween-related injuries, emphasizing the importance of visibility for trick-or-treaters.
