What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, restaurants and other retail food establishments that provide

a menu to customers, either by providing a physical menu or posting or displaying

a menu in a visible area, must include on the menu a conspicuous statement that

reads: “Before placing your order, please inform your server if a person in your party

has a food allergy.” The bill provides an exemption for micro markets, concession

stands, and retail store deli counters that do not make made-to-order food items.
