        Introduced  by  M.  of  A.  GOTTFRIED  --  read once and referred to the
          Committee on Agriculture -- recommitted to the Committee  on  Agricul-

        AN ACT to amend the agriculture and markets law, in  relation  to  using
          the term "human food grade" for certain pet food
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. The agriculture and markets law is amended by adding a  new
     2  section 129-b to read as follows:
     3    §  129-b.  Designation  of  certain pet food as human grade food. 1. A
     4  registrant who has been approved for registration  pursuant  to  section
     5  one  hundred  twenty-nine  of this article may also apply to the commis-
     6  sioner for designation or certification, including a renewal of a desig-
     7  nation or certification, of a pet food as New York state  designated  or
     8  certified  human  food  grade.  An  application  for such designation or
     9  certification shall be made in the same manner and  be  subject  to  the
    10  same requirements and conditions as sections one hundred twenty-nine and
    11  one hundred twenty-nine-a of this article. The commissioner shall devel-
    12  op rules and regulations for the approval of such designation or certif-
    13  ication  including,  but  not  limited to, production, manufacturing and
    14  labeling standards required to be met to ensure the product would quali-
    15  fy as human food grade.
    16    2. (a) A designation or certification of a pet  food  as  "human  food
    17  grade"  under this section means that the pet food is suitable for human
    18  consumption but is intended for consumption by pets and is produced,  at
    19  a  minimum,  in  compliance  with the recommendations or guidelines of a
    20  voluntary membership association of local, state  and  federal  agencies
    21  charged  by  local,  state  or  federal  laws  to  regulate the sale and
    22  distribution of animal feeds  or the federal government  if  applicable,
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD02745-04-2
        A. 4570--A                          2
 
     1  and meets any requirements of the commissioner. A pet food designated or
     2  certified  under this section may be labeled, advertised and represented
     3  as human food grade, or use words, symbols, or images of  that  meaning.
     4  The  commissioner  may  create a symbol, label, or wording that a regis-
     5  trant may, but is not required to, use for  a  pet  food  designated  or
     6  certified under this section.
     7    (b)  Any  label,  advertisement  or representation implying that a pet
     8  food is New York state designated or certified human  food  grade  shall
     9  include words, symbols or images, of at least equal size as those imply-
    10  ing  that it is human food grade, clearly indicating that it is intended
    11  for consumption by pets or particular categories of pets.
    12    (c) No person may label, advertise or represent any product as being a
    13  pet food designated or certified by New York state as human food  grade,
    14  or  words  of  that  meaning, or using any image conveying that meaning,
    15  unless the product is designated or certified under this section.
    16    3. A designation or certification under this section  shall  be  valid
    17  for two years from the date of issuance or from the date of renewal.
    18    § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
    19  it  shall  have become a law. Effective immediately, the commissioner of
    20  agriculture and markets shall  promulgate  regulations  and  take  other
    21  actions reasonably necessary to implement this act on that date.
