BILL NUMBER: S722 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the general business law, in relation to itinerant vendors PURPOSE : This legislation amends the General Business Law to specify certain additional items that itinerant vendors are prohibited from selling, as well as clarifying the definitions of certain items that itinerant vendors are currently prohibited from selling. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 amends section 38 of the General Business Law, to prohibit any itinerant vendor from selling "baby food," "non-prescription drugs" and "cosmetics" as defined in the bill. Under current law, itinerant vendors are prohibited from selling certain items, including food manufactured and packaged for sale for children under the age of 2, and "drugs" as defined in the Public Health Law. This legislation eliminates these definitions and replaces them with "baby food" and "non-prescription drugs" and establishes more precise definitions. Additionally, the legislation adds the category of "cosmetics" to items that are prohibited from being sold. Section 2 establishes an effective date.
