This bill amends Section 137F.11A of the Iowa Code to require food establishments to post a routine inspection report card, replacing the previous requirement for posting inspection reports. The bill mandates that food establishments serving food for on-premises consumption display their most recent routine inspection report and any current complaint or reinspection reports in a publicly visible location. Additionally, it allows the department to require that the routine inspection report be posted near the corresponding report card.

The new Section 137F.11B establishes the process for creating a routine inspection report card, which assigns letter grades (A, B, or C) based on the establishment's inspection rating. An A indicates a score of 90% or better, a B indicates a score of 80% to 89%, and a C indicates a score of 75% to 79%. If an establishment receives a rating below 75%, its license will be suspended. The report card must be posted near each entrance or in another conspicuous location as determined by the regulatory authority.
