Current Bill Summary

SB 939 - The act revises and modernizes the law governing the sale of bedding. The existing law provides that persons making or renovating bedding are subject to inspection, are required to meet specified sanitary conditions, must operate under a permit, and must properly label their products. The Department may prosecute violators of the law. Violation is a Class A misdemeanor (up to one year in jail).

The revised law simply modernizes the above requirements, provides standards for sanitization procedures requires labels in English and correctly reflects that the program is administered by the Department of Health rather than the Department of Social Services.
