The measure will require a salt shaker symbol for food that goes over the recommended daily limit

New York is about to become the first American city to require salt warnings on chain restaurant menus. The measure, approved Wednesday, will require a salt shaker symbol for food that goes over the recommended daily limit of 2,300 milligrams of sodium, which is about one teaspoon. Dr. Holly Phillips joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss the medical reasons for this requirement.

NYC leaders making it easier to sue police officers

New York City Council approved a law that ends qualified immunity for NYPD police officers. Qualified immunity shields officers from liability, even if the conduct is illegal. This law has been in place since the late 1960s. Ending this law makes it easier for citizens to sue police officers who violate citizens' Fourth Amendment rights. Critics say the law protects officers and allows them to do their jobs. New York City Council speaker Corey Johnson joins CBSN's Lana Zak to discuss why the law needs to end.
