Assembly Bill 664 modifies existing laws regarding the serving of margarine as a substitute for butter in various settings, particularly focusing on students in schools. The bill renumbers and amends current statutes to replace the term "table butter" with "butter" in prohibitions against serving margarine. It expands the prohibition on serving margarine to students at public, private, and tribal schools, while allowing exceptions for margarine ordered by the student or their parent or guardian. Additionally, it prohibits the use of margarine in meals prepared for students unless directed by a healthcare provider for health reasons.

The bill also amends the existing law that prohibits the serving of colored margarine at public eating places as a substitute for butter unless specifically ordered by the customer. Violations of these prohibitions may result in specified criminal penalties. The changes aim to clarify the regulations surrounding margarine and butter in educational and institutional settings, ensuring that health considerations are prioritized while allowing for parental input in student dietary choices.
