This bill amends Title 3 (Agriculture) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically regarding the licensing requirements for retail food facilities. It introduces new exemptions to the licensing requirements, allowing certain facilities to operate without a license. The new exemptions include retail food facilities owned by charitable nonprofit entities that operate for no more than 12 days each calendar year, as well as facilities that fall under a previously established category (paragraph (1)(vii)) and also operate for no more than 12 days each year.

The bill aims to reduce regulatory burdens on small-scale operations, particularly those run by charitable organizations, thereby encouraging community engagement and support for local initiatives. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill is enacted.
