S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 4424 2023-2024 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y February 14, 2023 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. REYES -- read once and referred to the Committee on Agriculture AN ACT to amend the agriculture and markets law, the general business 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 are an inherently vulnerable population, 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 often lack the same ability to resist the rewarding cues presented in unhealthy food market- ing as adults. 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 unfair and deceptive marketing targeted at chil- dren can mislead and manipulate children into lifelong habits, and that such unfair and deceptive advertising should be regulated accordingly. § 2. Section 202-a of the agriculture and markets law is amended by adding a new subdivision 4 to read as follows: 4. IN DETERMINING WHETHER A VIOLATION OF THIS SECTION HAS OCCURRED, THE COURT SHALL CONSIDER FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO ADVERTISING DIRECTED AT A CHILD PURSUANT TO SECTION THREE HUNDRED FIFTY-A OF GENERAL BUSINESS LAW. § 3. Section 350-a of the general business law is amended by adding three new subdivisions 4, 5 and 6 to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
