Introduced by M. of A. REYES -- read once and referred to the Committee
on Agriculture
AN ACT to amend the agriculture and markets law and the public health
law, in relation to food and food product advertising
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby
finds that children and adolescents are an inherently vulnerable popu-
lation, and that marketing unhealthy foods in a targeted and persistent
manner to this group is inconsistent with this state's efforts to curb
the disastrous health outcomes that follow the overconsumption of these
products. Such marketing is inherently misleading, as children and young
adults often lack the same ability to resist the rewarding cues
presented in unhealthy food marketing as adults. This predatory commer-
cial speech has contributed to an epidemic of obesity and its related
co-morbidities, particularly in the children of black and brown communi-
ties. Furthermore, there is a growing consensus that processed food is
habit forming, increasing the danger to public health that can arise
from succumbing to misleading advertising. New York has a strong and
substantial interest in protecting our children from negative health
consequences. Additionally, the power of the state is at its greatest
when protecting the health and welfare of its citizens, especially those
most vulnerable. Thus, the legislature finds that certain types of
marketing targeted at children can mislead and manipulate children into
lifelong habits, and that such advertising should be regulated accord-
ingly.
§ 2. Subdivision 1 of section 202-a of the agriculture and markets
law, as added by chapter 797 of the laws of 1939, is amended and two new
subdivisions 4 and 5 are added to read as follows:
1. An advertisement concerning a food or food product shall not be
false or misleading in any particular. IN DETERMINING WHETHER ANY
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.

epidemic of obesity and its related co-morbidities, particularly in the

consensus that highly processed food is habit forming, increasing the
danger to public health that can arise from succumbing to misleading
advertising. New York has a strong and substantial interest in protect-
ing our children from negative health consequences. Additionally, the
power of the state is at its greatest when protecting the health and
