S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 8583 2021-2022 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y December 13, 2021 ___________ 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. LBD13338-05-1
