AN ACT to establish a pilot program related to making the gluten content
  of food available at certain state owned, operated, or leased  cafete-
  rias;  and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration
  thereof

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
the  commissioner  of the office of general services shall identify four
state owned buildings, facilities, or complexes where food and beverages
are offered for sale to the general public or government employees in  a
cafeteria  setting which are operated or leased by the state, for inclu-
sion in a gluten content pilot program. One state owned building, facil-
ity, or complex for such pilot program shall be located in each  of  the
following  cities:  Albany,  Buffalo,  Syracuse,  and New York City. The
commissioner shall ensure that the cafeterias contained within the iden-
tified buildings, facilities, or complexes have  an  employee  available
during  the hours of operation that can accurately identify upon request
whether a food or beverage item offered is gluten-free. For the purposes
of this section, the term "gluten-free" shall include food  or  beverage
that is consistent with the Food and Drug Administration's final rule to
define the term "gluten-free" for voluntary use in the labeling of food.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
it  shall  have  become  a  law, and shall expire and be deemed repealed
three years after such date.
