MINOR

The bill was amended to reorganize the list of prohibited substances, moving Brominated vegetable oil and Red dye 3 to a new subsection (a) while keeping Potassium bromate and Propylparaben in the revised list. A new subsection (d) was added to clarify that this law does not limit other legal remedies available to consumers. These changes primarily address formatting and legal clarity rather than altering the core ban dates, the specific chemicals prohibited, or the penalty amounts.

TECHNICAL

The list of prohibited substances was restructured; Brominated vegetable oil and Red dye 3 were moved to a new paragraph (1), while Potassium bromate and Propylparaben were retained in the subsequent paragraphs.

REQUIREMENT

A new subsection (d) was inserted to explicitly state that the remedies provided in this section are cumulative with any other existing legal rights or causes of action.
