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 the definitions of terms such as "raw agricultural commodity," "regulatory authority," and "temporary food establishment," while also refining the language used in existing definitions to enhance clarity and precision.

Several terms have been redefined or clarified, including the removal of certain phrases and the addition of new language to improve understanding. For instance, the term "temporary license" is now described as a written authorization issued for a specified limited time, and "transient tenant" is defined as an individual renting a room in a bed and breakfast for fewer than 30 consecutive days. The bill also specifies that "vending machines" must dispense food in a manner that does not require replenishing between each operation, and it clarifies the definition of "wild game." The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4204.
