Out-of-state egg suppliers, (who wish to sell their products in california grocery stores) will now have to comply with the state’s 2 year-old law, that is said to protect egg-laying hens. This week Governor Schwarzenegger signed ab-1437 into law. The measure requires that all eggs sold in california stores come from farm’s that comply with Proposition 2, which california voters approved in 2008.
Prop 2 requires that cages for egg-laying hens must be large enough for the animals to be able to stand up, lie down, and extend their wings.
