It is not so much a punitive law (as in you go to jail for being fat), more a social programme to discourage it:

Men with waists measuring more than 33.5 inches or women with waists measuring more than 35.5 inches are considered “at risk” and are referred to counseling, email and phone monitoring and correspondence, along with motivational support. There is no fine or penalty for those who exceed the recommended measurements.

Still, good on them for clearly stating that fat is not acceptable or healthy.
