What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill prohibits the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection from regulating the terms of sale or rental of soda water beverage equipment generally or the terms of sale or rental of coin-operated vending machines by soda water beverage wholesalers to retail food establishments. Current law authorizes DATCP to promulgate rules prohibiting methods of competition and trade practices that it determines are unfair. Using this authority, DATCP has promulgated rules regulating the terms of sale or rental of soda water beverage equipment and coin-operated vending machines when the equipment or machines are sold or rented out by wholesalers. Under this bill, DATCP may not issue orders, promulgate rules, or enforce existing rules that regulate the terms of sale or rental of soda water beverage equipment generally or the terms of sale or rental of coin-operated vending machines by soda water beverage wholesalers to retail food establishments.
