Keeping State-Owened Vending Machines Healthy in California

Share On Social!

Vending machines in state buildings are on track to stay healthy in California. The Healthy State Vending Bill (SB 912) passed the full assemply floor on August 19, 2014.

The bill, co-sponsored by the California Center for Public Health Advocacy (CCPHA), simply eliminates the January 2015 expiration from current law, which requires minimal nutrition standards for foods and beverages sold in vending machines in state buildings.

SB 912 will head to the Governor’s desk for his signature by the end of August.

Update: On Friday, September 26, 2014, the Healthy State Vending Bill was signed into law by Governor Brown.
