NY Governor Signs into Law Ensuring Dietary Laws at Correctional Facilities

December 13, 2023 - from the Vinnews:

" NYS Governor Kathy Hochul signed into law a new bill sponsored by Senator Jessica Ramos and Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein, which will require state correctional facilities to provide kosher and halal food options at vending machines and commissary areas.

"Until now, food options for purchase at vending machines and commissary areas often did not include selections for incarcerated individuals who require special religious dietary restrictions. This new bill will amend the current law to include options which would satisfy the dietary needs of such individuals at prices comparable to other similar food items."
