In a new video for National Review, reporter Kat Timpf reveals that the New York Senate Health Committee recently passed a bill protecting children from having to go to the health department for approval to run lemonade stands. This comes a year after the government closed one seven-year-old’s stand at his family’s house.

“Shutting down a child’s lemonade stand for the sake of public safety is a stupid, disgusting waste of public, taxpayer-funded resources,” Timpf says. “This summer, let’s get some perspective and push our government to focus on real problems instead of creating bogus ones.”
