The bill amends the Food Law of Michigan, specifically section 1111, to introduce new definitions and clarify existing terms related to food establishments. Notably, it defines "qualified premises" to include licensed premises of microbrewers, small winemakers, and tasting rooms, thereby expanding the scope of establishments covered under the law. Additionally, the bill updates various definitions, such as changing "raw agricultural commodity" to clarify its meaning and revising the term "retail food establishment" to specify that it includes both retail grocery and food service establishments, while excluding food processors.
Furthermore, the bill makes several adjustments to existing definitions, such as modifying the term "rules" to indicate that they are promulgated in accordance with the administrative procedures act, and refining the definition of "vending machine" to specify the conditions under which it operates. The bill also introduces new terms like "temporary food establishment" and "transient tenant," while removing outdated language. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4204.
