This bill amends the definition of "occasional food service establishment" in RSA 143-A:3, V. The new definition specifies that such establishments are those where food is provided for the public and can be served on the premises or taken away for off-premises consumption. The previous language that stated food must be "served" has been deleted, and the time limit for operation has been adjusted from "30 days" to "28 days," allowing these establishments to operate for no more than four days within that period.

The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, with an effective date of July 28, 2025. This change aims to clarify the operational parameters for occasional food service establishments, potentially expanding their ability to serve the public under the new guidelines.
