What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current state law prohibits the serving of colored margarine at a public eating

place as a substitute for butter unless margarine is ordered by the customer. The law

also prohibits the serving of margarine in state institutions as a substitute for table

butter, except as necessary for the health of a patient or inmate. Finally, the law

contains specific requirements for the packaging and labeling of margarine for sale

at retail.

This bill repeals these provisions concerning the serving and sale of margarine.
