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 definition of "vending machine" to specify the types of devices included and excluded from this category.

Furthermore, the bill makes several deletions and modifications to existing definitions to enhance clarity and precision. For instance, it replaces "indicating" with "that indicates" in the definition of "shellfish dealer certification" and modifies the term "temporary food establishment" to specify its operational limits. The bill also introduces a new definition for "staple foods," explicitly excluding accessory foods like coffee and candy. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4204, ensuring that the amendments take effect only if that related legislation is also enacted.
