AN  ACT  to  amend the education law, in relation to education on celiac
  disease; and to amend the tax  law  and  the  state  finance  law,  in
  relation to the celiac disease awareness and research fund

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1.  Legislative  intent.  The  legislature  hereby  finds  the
following:
  a. Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intes-
tine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food.
  b. Celiac disease affects people in all parts of the world. Originally
thought  to be a rare childhood syndrome, celiac disease is now known to
be a common genetic disorder.
  c. More than two million people in the United States have the disease,
or about 1 in 133 people.
  d. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in
wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten is found mainly in foods but may also  be
found in everyday products such as medicines, vitamins and lip balms.
  e.  When people with celiac disease eat foods or use products contain-
ing gluten, their immune  system  responds  by  damaging  or  destroying
villi,  the  tiny,  fingerlike  protrusions  lining the small intestine.
Villi normally allow nutrients from food  to  be  absorbed  through  the
walls  of  the  small  intestine  into  the bloodstream. Without healthy
villi, a person becomes malnourished, no matter how much one eats.
  f. People with celiac disease may  have  no  symptoms  but  can  still
develop  complications of the disease over time. Long-term complications
include malnutrition which can lead to anemia, osteoporosis and  miscar-
riage,  among  other  problems such as liver diseases and cancers of the
intestine.
