Effective July 1, the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce and the Mississippi State Board of Health will no longer regulate vending machines and micro markets that sell pre-packaged food and other food products for individual retail sale that have been acquired from a source approved by the USFDA or a state government agency.

Gov. Phil Bryant signed House Bill 1206 on March 19. The bill amended Section 69-1-18 of the Mississippi Code of 1972.

Republican Rep. Jerry R. Turner, District 18, authored the bill, with Rep. Kathy Sykes, District 70, as co-author.
