The bill amends the Food Law of Michigan, specifically section 4105, to clarify and expand the exemptions from licensure requirements for various food-related establishments and activities. Notably, it removes the exemption for establishments licensed under the 1964 PA 158 and introduces new exemptions for specific types of food establishments, such as those selling whole uncut fresh fruits and vegetables, temporary food establishments serving non-potentially hazardous food, and mobile food establishments offering prepackaged frozen desserts. Additionally, it specifies that retail outlets selling prepackaged honey or maple syrup must have labels similar to cottage food products.

Furthermore, the bill outlines that food service establishments can transport prepared food to temporary serving locations without requiring separate licensing, provided no food preparation occurs at the serving site. It also allows for prepackaged food transported to farmers' markets or vending machine locations to be considered extensions of the original food establishment, with certain conditions regarding licensing. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4882.
