The bill amends the Food Law of Michigan by updating Section 4105 to clarify the exemptions from licensure requirements for various individuals, establishments, and organizations. Notable insertions include the addition of exemptions for individuals operating under the requirements of 1978 PA 260, as well as specific conditions for retail outlets selling prepackaged honey or maple syrup. The bill also specifies that certain food establishments, such as temporary food establishments and mobile food establishments, are exempt from licensure if they meet defined criteria, such as only serving non-potentially hazardous food or prepackaged items.

Additionally, the bill outlines 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. Similar provisions apply to sales locations at farmers' markets and vending machine locations, which are considered extensions of the licensed food establishment if managed by its employees. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining safety standards while allowing for flexibility in food service operations.
