Digest
HB 2343 imposes labeling and notice requirements for shrimp imported from outside Texas. It prohibits selling imported shrimp without a clear label indicating its origin and requires food service establishments to provide notice of imported shrimp either on menus or in a visible area. Additionally, state agencies and school districts are prohibited from serving imported shrimp in their food service programs. Contracts for food services must include a provision banning the use of imported shrimp, and any contract language that attempts to circumvent this prohibition is void.
