S 837 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Exempts lemonade stands operated by persons under sixteen years of age from department of health permitting requirements

This bill exempts children under 16 who operate lemonade stands from needing health department permits. It specifically states that such stands are not considered "temporary food establishments" under health regulations, removing the requirement for permits or inspections. This change directly affects young people running small, informal lemonade stands, making it simpler for them to operate without bureaucratic hurdles. The policy change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
