Activists Urge Gov. Hobbs to Sign New Version of Tamale Bill Allowing Home Cooks to Sell Food
-
Activists held a party at the AZ Capitol urging Gov. Hobbs to sign the "tamale bill" to allow home cooks to sell food like tamales.
-
Hobbs vetoed the original bill last year due to health and safety concerns, but new version aims to address those.
-
Bill passed State Senate but with only 1 Democrat supporting it. Sen. Hernandez voted no, worried about criminalization.
-
Amendment to protect people violating regulations from misdemeanor was not included, against what supporters said last year.
-
Unclear if Hobbs plans to sign the latest version of the bill now on her desk after vetoing original last year.
