The bill amends the Food Law of Michigan, specifically section 6101, to incorporate modifications to the food code. Key changes include the modification of section 3-401.14 regarding the non-continuous cooking of raw animal foods, which now specifies that such foods must undergo an initial heating process of no longer than 60 minutes, followed by cooling and specific storage requirements before they can be sold or served. Additionally, the bill updates section 2-103.11(L) to ensure that employees are properly trained in food safety related to their duties.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions in section 6-501.115(B) that allow dogs to be present in certain qualified premises under strict conditions, such as the establishment not serving food and ensuring that health and safety hazards do not arise from the dog's presence. The bill outlines specific requirements for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the presence of dogs, including the immediate cleaning of any waste and restrictions on where dogs can be allowed within the premises. The director is also granted the authority to adopt changes to the food code as necessary.
