The bill establishes regulations for food trucks operating in Wyoming, creating a new section, W.S. 35-7-128, that defines a food truck and outlines the licensing requirements necessary for operation. A food truck is defined as a fully encased food establishment on a motor vehicle or trailer, excluding pushcarts and ice cream trucks. If a food truck is licensed in any Wyoming county, city, or town, that license will be recognized statewide. The bill mandates that food trucks must provide evidence of compliance with various regulations, including obtaining a license from the department of agriculture or local health authorities, a sales tax license if required, and adherence to fire safety standards.
Additionally, the bill amends existing definitions in W.S. 35-7-110 to include food trucks within the definitions of "establishment" and "commercial food establishment." This inclusion ensures that food trucks are subject to the same regulations as other food establishments. The bill also requires the departments of agriculture and health to create necessary rules for implementation. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon the bill's passage.
