The bill amends the Food Law of Michigan, specifically section 1107, to clarify definitions and update terminology related to food establishments and safety. Notably, it replaces the pronouns "his or her" with "the director's" when referring to the director of the department of agriculture and rural development. Additionally, the definition of "farmers' market" is revised to indicate that it may include a variety of other vendors as determined by market management, rather than being limited to farmers or their representatives.

Further changes include the introduction of a new definition for "food service establishment," which now explicitly includes rental halls that have kitchens or food preparation areas, while also clarifying that rental halls without such facilities are not considered food service establishments. The bill also updates the language regarding food additives and food safety assessments, ensuring that the definitions align with current practices and regulations. Overall, these amendments aim to enhance clarity and compliance within Michigan's food safety framework.
