Big-Soda Ban Officially Dead as NYC Loses Last Appeal
Posted in: Uncategorized
New York City’s ban on oversize sodas was an overreach by the city’s health board, the state’s highest court ruled Thursday, putting a final end to the ban’s chances of coming back.
The board’s rulemaking infringed on power reserved for the New York City Council, the state Court of Appeals held today.
The city sought to revive the rule, proposed by Michael Bloomberg when he was mayor, after it was struck down by a lower court following lawsuits from trade groups whose members include Coca-Cola Co. The decision by the Court of Appeals ends the case.
