PHOENIX — State lawmakers voted Thursday to say they feel the same way about Happy Meal toys as they do about guns: You can’t take them.
Legislation given preliminary House approval would bar cities and counties from enacting any sort of law or regulation that limited the ability of restaurants to offer incentives. A final roll-call vote next week will send the measure to the Senate.
HB 2490 is quite broad in what it would make off-limits to local control, including contests, coupons and trading cards.
