A new state law taking effect January First will ensure kids can pursue the long-standing tradition of setting up a lemonade stand.
12-year-old Hayli Martinez of Kankakee inspired the measure after her stand was shut down by local public health officials. She testified before a Senate Committee back in March.
Under the law, state and local public health departments cannot require a permit or regulate the sale of lemonade and other non-alcoholic drinks by kids under 16.
