The bill’s sponsor described the proposal as targeting marketing practices directed at children and said the measure is intended to reduce promotion of less nutritious products to young people while promoting locally grown foods. Senator Myrie said the changes would not ban food types but would “put some tighter parameters on how we market” to children.

The committee discussed industry and labeling concerns. Senator Brown said the bill had improved from its original version, “particularly removing the private right of action,” but added, “I’m still a no on this bill.” Another member raised worries about ingredient naming and public perception, warning that scientific ingredient names can be misunderstood by consumers.

Committee counsel responded to questions about education in the bill, pointing senators to section 4. “If you draw your attention to section 4, there is a program that will be administered that will educate children on, you know, the risks of obesity and diet and promote locally grown foods,” the staff member said.

After discussion, the committee moved the bill on a motion by Senator Brooks, seconded by Senator Fernandez. The clerk recorded the bill as referred to the Consumer Protection Committee for further consideration.

Why it matters: supporters framed the measure as protecting children from targeted marketing of ultraprocessed products and as a way to encourage New York-grown foods; opponents urged pairing marketing limits with clear public education to avoid misleading consumers about ingredients.

Next steps: SB397 was referred to the Consumer Protection Committee for further review and amendment as needed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Standing Committee on Agriculture - 02/04/2025","oneSentenceSummary","At the New York State Senate Agriculture and Food Committee’s first meeting of the 2025 session, members advanced Senate Bill 397, sponsored by Senator Myrie, a measure to amend the General Business Law, the Agriculture and Markets Law and the Public Health Law to impose tighter rules on food and food product advertising directed at children and to establish related education programming.","taxTitle","Agriculture, Standing Committee, Senate, Legislative, New York","taxId",25180,"location","New York","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6668840,"Ag and Food Committee advances youth employment, land-use and carbon farming bills",0,536000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2217990-c681b85ad7a735597943fa4530c64f3c&start=536&end=536","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2217990-c681b85ad7a735597943fa4530c64f3c/thumbnail_536000.jpg","/articles/6668840/New-York/Ag-and-Food-Committee-advances-youth-employment-land-use-and-carbon-farming-bills","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6668840-e8081e81fc214dde6c037519777f1bb9/orig.mp4?Expires=1774965444&Signature=FA1SrQAveLSJEuCKIcpy~6P51DxoO2OUqz5FjTsSkdPBpfRHJw-aegOPYCoJOa0ENW6OIgnO9S1UBZAHudMf0LBnFeIRV3FMIYjRhb3FtVAdzPrWsRTunu5lhZVcbo8wxkcg~4s8W2~haCdKXvyU8N3vLoYErYl2Rzw4Ibbu-EaCmOb8ek0ZK5Q4661iPGTG9SekNnBIQov4rqwpprIJx82AUYJNBQpJabMFiBaV~7BIt13kDIGPDlrBFugGUEuIboz1SyTCOoHQbC78qfh73yhRwyPhl01LBr8mEJ-Uh45EerL5eR4LM8~CtegL754ATRM~vj~plHeQi3wT3e0WLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New York State Senate Agriculture and Food Committee advanced five bills at its first meeting of the 2025 session, sending each to the next committee or the floor for further action.

Bills advanced and referrals

- Senate Bill 592 (Sen. Hinchey): An act to establish the New York State Youth in Agriculture and Entrepreneurship Summer Employment Program. Motion to move was made by Senator Barriello and seconded by Senator Oberacher; the committee referred the bill to the Finance Committee.

- Senate Bill 593 (Sen. Hinchey): An act to amend the Agriculture and Markets Law in relation to land use and agricultural production. Motion to move was made by Senator Barriello and seconded by Senator Ryan; the committee advanced the bill to the floor.

- Senate Bill 1529 (Sen. Parker): An act to amend the Agriculture and Markets Law, the Tax Law, and the Environmental Conservation Law to enact the Carbon Farming Act. Motion to move was made by Senator Webb and seconded by Senator Brooke; the bill was referred to the Finance Committee.

- Senate Bill 1783 (Sen. Hinchey): An act to amend the Agriculture and Markets Law in relation to fees related to liquefied petroleum. Motion to move was made by Senator Webb and seconded by Senator Fernandez; the committee moved the bill to the floor.

Committee discussion and next steps

Most items were advanced with brief discussion or general remarks. On SB592 a member asked about barriers in the Assembly; the sponsor said the effort was underway and staff would continue outreach. No specific vote tallies were recorded in the transcript for these motions; clerks announced referrals and reported that motions carried.

Why it matters: the package includes workforce development for youth (SB592), changes to land-use rules affecting agricultural production (SB593), a cross-law Carbon Farming Act with tax and environmental provisions (SB1529), and a fee change affecting liquefied petroleum (SB1783). These measures, if enacted, would affect New York farmers, agriculture-related land use and climate-related farming incentives.

Next steps: each bill was referred as noted above for further committee work or floor consideration.","At its first 2025 meeting the New York State Senate Agriculture and Food Committee moved five bills forward, referring measures on youth summer employment, land use, carbon farming and liquefied petroleum fees to the next legislative stages. Most measures passed with little debate; motions and referrals were recorded on the transcript.","actionData","errors"]
