This bill died with 2025 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

Vetoed by Governor Joe Lombardo (Republican) on June 10, 2025.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

Senate Bill No. 295 has been updated to clarify the regulations surrounding sidewalk vendors and compact food cart vendors. Key changes include the definitions of these vendors, as well as the affirmation that local boards of health cannot restrict the types of food sold by them. These updates are important because they aim to support the growth of street food businesses by making it easier for vendors to operate without overly restrictive regulations.
