The bill clarifies the definition of "alcoholic liquor" and specifies that certain food products infused with or made from alcohol are not classified as alcoholic beverages. Specifically, it states that liquid-filled candies and other food products containing less than 6.25% alcohol by volume do not fall under the definition of alcoholic beverages. This change aims to distinguish between traditional alcoholic drinks and food items that may contain alcohol but are not intended for consumption as beverages.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new subsection that defines "food product" as any item intended for human consumption that is not manufactured as an alcoholic liquor, malt beverage, or wine, but may include alcohol as an ingredient. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2024.
