     3    §  2.  Section  201  of  the agriculture and markets law is amended by
     4  adding a new subdivision 15 to read as follows:
     5    15. If, in the case of a manufacturer,  packer  or  distributor  whose
     6  annual  gross  sales  in  this state or whose sales to consumers in this
     7  state equal or exceed five hundred thousand dollars, the food package is
     8  not labeled with such manufacturer's, packer's  or  distributor's  toll-

     9  free  telephone  number.  Such  toll-free number shall be staffed during
    10  reasonable business hours and shall include one telephone line to accom-
    11  modate telecommunications devices for hearing-impaired persons.  In  the
    12  case  of such a manufacturer, packer or distributor whose sales are less
    13  than five hundred thousand dollars, the food package  shall  be  labeled
    14  with  the  manufacturer's,  packer's  or distributor's e-mail or mailing
    15  address.
    16    § 3. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
    17  it shall have become a law, provided  that  any  rules  and  regulations
    18  necessary  to implement the provisions of this act on its effective date
    19  are authorized and directed to be promulgated on or before  such  effec-
    20  tive date.
