Mississippi Legislators Introduce Sham Obesity Bill

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | March 24, 2008 - 18:13

Three Mississippi state representatives sponsored a bill that would have prohibited restaurants from serving obese people. The legislators never intended the bill to pass, they just wanted to raise awareness about obesity. For the story, go to AELR Blog, "Proposed Mississippi Law to Target the Obese is a Farce", Mar. 21, 2007. The Mississippi Legislature's website shows that HB 282 bill died in committee.
