  • Legislation for Americans with Food Allergies: The Need for Expansion in Accommodations, Labeling, Education, and Cross-contamination Laws

    9593tv212?file=thumbnail
    Description:
    Current legislation is inefficient for caring for the needs of individuals with disabilities, especially those with food allergies. Despite the fact that there are additional laws put in place since 2018, America is behind other countries including those in the European Union (E.U.) when it comes to identifying the major allergens that the general population face. While America recognizes 9 major allergens, the E.U. incorporates 14 in its ingredient labeling acts. Additionally, with the rise of internet food orders, the E.U. has implemented a system where food delivery professionals would state the allergens in the foods to the customer. (Yiannas, 2022) Also, the E.U. prompts for prominently displayed articles to be present in online menus where patrons may choose their food option. America does not adhere to either of these conditions when vending food to its customers on online platforms. (Bannister, 2022) Despite the annexation of recent laws, it is not adequate to accommodate the needs of persons with food allergies as hundreds die yearly from food allergy-triggered anaphylaxis. In fact, with the addition of these laws, restaurants possess an even greater duty of care now that they have possession of informational flyers in their staff and customer forum. Therefore, restaurants need to accommodate the needs of persons with food allergies within reason and they need to inform individuals about food allergens that they would not in ordinary circumstances know about. Restaurants bear this heightened duty of care to not cause harm to their invitees and under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the responsibility to properly accommodate reasonably for their customers’ food allergies. In this paper, I hope to identify the current legislation and highlight both areas where improvement can and should be addressed.

  • The Impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act's Limitation on the SALT Deduction on New Jersey Taxpayers: A County Examination

    9z902z89q?file=thumbnail
    Description:
    One of the most controversial provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is the $10,000 limitation placed on the SALT deduction. The limitation is expected to negatively impact all high-tax states, especially New Jersey. This thesis seeks to discover if each and every county in New Jersey is expected to be negatively impacted by the new provision. The study analyzes the average itemized deduction and average SALT deduction of each county from tax years 2011 to 2016 to determine what the expected average itemized deduction would be in tax year 2018. The analysis finds that 20 out of 21 counties are expected to see a lower average SALT deduction in 2018 and thus, a majority of New Jersey taxpayers will be negatively impacted by the limitation. These affected taxpayers are expected to see higher federal tax liabilities in 2018 than in previous tax years.

    Description:
    By doing a comparative study of several countries who utilize a circular economy, have a superior waste management system, and are an industrialized country, this thesis will come to the conclusion as to whether or not better waste management equates to a better economy in the long run. Based on the findings of the comparative study, the thesis will make policy suggestions on how to improve the United States waste management system and economy. Lastly, the thesis will seek to provide solutions and alternatives to waste management in the United States through innovative technology and processes from other countries and from original concepts.
