The bill amends the Food Law of Michigan, specifically section 4105, to clarify and expand the exemptions from licensure requirements for various food-related entities. Notable insertions include the addition of new categories of exemptions, such as individuals operating under the requirements of 1978 PA 260, and specific conditions for retail outlets selling honey or maple syrup. The bill also modifies existing language to enhance clarity, such as changing "operating" to "operates" in several instances and specifying that honey and maple syrup must have labeling similar to cottage food products.

Additionally, the bill outlines that certain food establishments, such as temporary food establishments and mobile food units, are exempt from licensure if they meet specific criteria. It also establishes that if food is prepared in a licensed food service establishment and transported to a temporary serving location, that location does not require separate licensure, provided no food preparation occurs there. The bill aims to streamline regulations while ensuring food safety and compliance within the state.
