Rhode Island H7975 mandates licensed retailers to provide drink lids upon request to prevent drink tampering.
Rhode Island H7975 amends the General Laws to require licensed retailers authorized to sell intoxicating beverages to provide a lid to a consumer upon request. The law defines a "lid" as a removable cover that attaches to the rim of a beverage container. Retailers must post a notice stating, "Don’t get roofied! Drink lids available here. Ask a staff member for details." Retailers may charge a reasonable fee for the lids but cannot prevent them from offering lids free of charge. A violation results in a warning for the first offense.
