Schulman presents children's nutrition and tobacco bar bills
Schulman introduces Intro 405-A, which sets nutrition standards for children's meals at chain restaurants, and Intro 947, which would allow qualifying tobacco bars facing hardship to transfer registration and a retail dealer license once. She says DOHMH's perspective on tobacco licensing and public health implications will be important.
We will also hear proposed Intro 405A and Intro 947, both sponsored by Councilmember Riley.
Healthy eating habits begin early, and the food and beverages children consume can have lasting implications for their health and development.
Proposed Intro 405A would establish nutrition standards for children's meals served at chain restaurants.
Intro 947 concerns tobacco bars.
The bill would allow a qualifying tobacco bar experiencing financial hardship to seek a one-time transfer of its registration and a one-time transfer
of its tobacco retail dealer license to a new location subject to specified conditions.
We look forward to hearing DOHMH's perspective on the public health implications of the proposal and how the existing registration and licensing framework for tobacco bars and tobacco restaurants.
retail dealers operates.
