 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.
   ยง 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 it shall have become a law, and shall  expire  and  be  deemed  repealed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.
 
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
