Bill > S04930

This bill amends the public health law in New York to require chain restaurants (restaurants with 15 or more locations in the state) to place a salt-shaker-like symbol next to any menu items that contain more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium. The bill also requires chain restaurants to include a statement on their menus explaining the meaning of the salt-shaker symbol. Restaurants that fail to comply with these requirements can be subject to a civil penalty of up to $250 for each non-compliant menu. The bill does not apply to chain restaurants located in New York City, as long as the city has a similar rule in effect.
