Sir:
Your Committee on Health & Homelessness, to which was

“HOUSE RESOLUTION URGING THE COUNTIES TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE
REQUIRING RESTAURANTS AND OTHER FOOD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS
TO TAKE STEPS TO MAKE THEIR BUSINESSES SAFE FOR MEMBERS OF
THE PUBLIC WITH SEVERE FOOD ALLERGIES,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to urge the counties to adopt
an ordinance requiring restaurants and other food service
establishments to take steps to make their businesses safe for
members of the public with severe food allergies.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from seven individuals.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Amending language that requests customers inform their
server of any food allergies from being listed on a menu
or menu insert to being listed on signage; and
(2) Deleting language requiring the county ordinances to
include a publicly available master list of all
ingredients used in the preparation of each food item.
