Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.

Supporters emphasize child safety and inclusion benefits
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is an administrative amendment that is narrowly focused and correctly integrated into existing statutory provisions, but it provides limited implementation scaffolding.
