The bill amends the Food Law of 2000 (2000 PA 92) by updating Section 4105, which outlines exemptions from licensure requirements for various food-related entities. Notable changes include the removal of the 1964 PA 158 act from the list of exempt establishments and the addition of new provisions that clarify the conditions under which certain food establishments, such as those selling prepackaged honey or maple syrup, can operate without a license. The bill also specifies that food prepared in a licensed food service establishment can be transported to a temporary serving location without requiring separate licensing, provided no food preparation occurs at the serving site.

Additionally, the bill introduces language that emphasizes the need for proper labeling of honey and maple syrup products and clarifies the definitions and conditions for various food establishments, including mobile food services and temporary food establishments. It also stipulates that vending machine locations operated by licensed food establishments do not require separate licensing under certain conditions, particularly when the food is transported by employees of the establishment. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4882.
