Introduced Text

New Jersey S2510 mandates reflective material on children's Halloween costumes to enhance safety.

New Jersey S2510 requires that children's Halloween costumes sold in the state include reflective material. This law aims to improve the visibility of trick-or-treaters in low-light conditions, reducing the risk of accidents. The reflective material can be either attached to the costume or packaged with it for the buyer to attach. Violators face penalties of up to $500 for the first offense and $1,000 for each subsequent offense. The law takes effect immediately and applies to costumes sold after November 15 following the date of enactment.
