Nanny-State Micromanagement of Kids' Meals at Chain Restaurants

Description

This bill tightens state control over what chain restaurants may offer and market in children's meals, layering on new nutritional and beverage restrictions from Sacramento. Instead of letting parents decide what their kids eat, it expands intrusive health mandates on private businesses and family choices. CPAC supports parental responsibility and opposes government micromanagement of restaurant menus and opposed this bill. The Senate passed this bill on 2025-09-03 by a vote of 40-0. The Governor vetoed this bill.
