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 new categories of exemptions, such as individuals operating under the requirements of 1978 PA 260, and specific conditions for retail outlets selling honey or maple syrup. The bill also specifies that certain food establishments, such as temporary food establishments and mobile food establishments, are exempt if they meet defined criteria, including the sale of non-potentially hazardous foods and the use of single-service articles.

Additionally, the bill modifies language regarding the licensing of food establishments, emphasizing that if food is prepared in a licensed food service establishment and transported to a temporary serving location, that location does not require separate licensing. It also clarifies that vending machine locations maintained by employees of a licensed food establishment are considered extensions of that establishment, with specific licensing requirements if the food establishment is located out of state. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the regulatory framework for food establishments while ensuring safety and compliance with food laws.
