AN ACT PROHIBITING THE USE, SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCTS CONTAINING HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP IN STATE GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS AND OFFICES, CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION.

HB 5035 bans the use, sale, and distribution of products containing high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in state government buildings/offices, correctional facilities, public schools, and colleges/universities. This directly affects all state-operated institutions and facilities listed in the bill, including staff, students, and visitors in those locations. The key provision requires these venues to eliminate HFCS-containing items from food and beverage offerings. The stated purpose aims to promote healthier environments and reduce long-term healthcare costs through this specific dietary restriction.
