## Summary

**Would require a federal system to color-code the dispensing point on packaging of drinks that contain intoxicating substances.** The system would also require a non-color identifier for accessibility and set technical color tolerances and enforcement rules. - Consumers: Packaging would show a single designated color at the dispensing point and a non-color identifier such as text, symbols, patterns, or tactile features to help people who are blind or colorblind. - Manufacturers: Would have to implement the color-coding on covered drinks and meet the law's compliance date 4 years after enactment. - Distributors and retailers: Would need to give consumers information about the system, ensure products they sell comply, and face civil penalties and fines for violations.
