Bill > S00213

This bill amends existing laws to address false or misleading advertisements of food and food products, particularly those targeted at children. It provides factors for courts to consider in determining whether an advertisement violates the law, including whether it targets vulnerable consumers, such as children, and whether it constitutes an "unfair" practice. The bill also requires the state's obesity prevention program to include education on the nutritional value and access to locally grown foods, including dairy, fruits, and vegetables. The bill aims to protect children from the negative health consequences of deceptive marketing of unhealthy foods.
