The bill amends the Food Law of 2000 by modifying section 3113 to clarify the regulatory authority of local governments over food service establishments. It specifies that counties, cities, villages, or townships cannot regulate aspects of food service establishments that are already governed by state law, except as necessary for local health departments to implement licensing provisions. Additionally, it emphasizes that applicants for licenses or licensees must still secure local permits and comply with local codes and regulations that do not conflict with state law.
Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision that prohibits local governments from adopting any rules, regulations, codes, or ordinances that impose fees, taxes, or assessments specifically for the operation of mobile food establishments. This aims to streamline the regulatory process for mobile food vendors and reduce potential financial burdens imposed by local jurisdictions.
