INTRODUCED BY   Senator Walters

                        FEBRUARY 19, 2014

   An act to add Section 25997.2 to the Health and Safety Code,
relating to public health.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1076, as introduced, Walters. Retail sale of shelled eggs.
   Existing law governing the regulation of eggs and egg products
authorizes the Secretary of Food and Agriculture to adopt regulations
relating to the preparation for market and marketing of shelled eggs
that are determined to be reasonably necessary to carry out the
purposes of these provisions, including to assure that healthful and
wholesale eggs of known quality are sold in the state.
   Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to sell or contract for sale a
shelled egg for human consumption in California if the seller knows
or should have known that the egg is the product of an egg-laying hen
that was confined on a farm or place that is not in compliance with
specified animal care standards.
   This bill would provide that latter provisions do not prohibit the
sale of a shelled egg that is the product of an egg-laying hen
confined on a farm or place in accordance with the standards in a
specified regulation adopted by the secretary.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 25997.2 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   25997.2.  This chapter does not prohibit the sale of a shelled egg
that is the product of an egg-laying hen confined on a farm or place
in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 1350 of Title
3 of the California Code of Regulations.
