	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Bill Berryhill

                        FEBRUARY 24, 2012

   An act to amend Section 114099.6 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to food.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2317, as introduced, Bill Berryhill. Food facilities:
sanitization.
   Existing law, the California Retail Food Code, requires all food
facilities in which food is prepared or in which multiservice
utensils and equipment are used to provide manual methods to
effectively clean and sanitize utensils, as specified. Existing law
requires manual sanitization to be accomplished in a number of
prescribed ways, including the application of sanitizing chemicals by
immersion, manual swabbing, or brushing, using specified solutions.
A violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor.
   This bill would authorize manual sanitization to be accomplished
by immersion, manual swabbing, or brushing, using a solution of 0.5
ppm ozone for at least 30 seconds. By expanding the definition of a
crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 114099.6 of the Health and Safety Code is
amended to read:
   114099.6.  Manual sanitization shall be accomplished in the final
sanitizing rinse by one of the following:
   (a) Immersion for at least 30 seconds where the water temperature
is maintained at 171  F or above.
   (b) The application of sanitizing chemicals by immersion, manual
swabbing, or brushing, using one of the following solutions:
   (1) Contact with a solution of 100 ppm available chlorine solution
for at least 30 seconds.
   (2) Contact with a solution of 25 ppm available iodine for at
least one minute.
   (3) Contact with a solution of 200 ppm quaternary ammonium for at
least one minute. 
   (4) Contact with a solution of 0.5 ppm ozone for at least 30
seconds.  
   (4) 
    (5)  Contact with any chemical sanitizer that meets the
requirements of Section 180.940 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations when used in accordance with the manufacturer's use
directions.
   (c) Other methods approved by the enforcement agency.
  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or
infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty
for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the
Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the
meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution.
