Bill > A06284

This bill requires state-owned, operated or leased food establishments to take reasonable precautions to prevent cross-contamination of gluten-free foods by foods containing gluten. It amends the state finance law, public health law, and education law to mandate that new or renewed contracts for such food service establishments include provisions to prevent this cross-contamination, and that the state health and education commissioners develop regulations specifying reasonable methods to achieve this. The bill aims to ensure that individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease can safely access food options at state-operated facilities.
