The bill amends the Food Law of Michigan by updating 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 adds new exemptions for specific types of food establishments, including those selling prepackaged honey or maple syrup, temporary food establishments serving non-potentially hazardous food, and mobile food establishments like ice cream trucks. Additionally, it clarifies that food warehouses or processors handling only uncut fruits or vegetables may operate without a license under certain conditions.

The bill also specifies that if food is prepared in a licensed food service establishment and transported to a temporary serving location, that location does not need a separate license, provided no food preparation occurs there. Similar provisions apply for transporting prepackaged food to farmers' markets or vending machine locations, with certain conditions outlined for establishments located out of state. Overall, the amendments aim to streamline regulations while ensuring food safety standards are maintained.
