The bill aims to prevent the harmful effects of energy drinks on the health of young people. It prohibits the sale of these drinks to individuals under 16 and also prevents these youths from purchasing or pretending to be older to acquire them.

The main provisions of the bill include banning the sale of energy drinks to minors and requiring buyers to prove their age with an ID. The bill equates the donation of these drinks to a sale and prohibits online or vending machine sales, except as allowed by regulation.

The bill modifies existing laws by creating new penal offenses and establishing inspection and investigation mechanisms, entrusted to Health Quebec. These mechanisms allow for the verification of the law's application and control of energy drink sales.

Those affected by this bill include individuals under 16, energy drink vendors, and organizations responsible for enforcing the law, such as Health Quebec.
