LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 724, as amended, Dodd. Temporary food facilities: community event. Existing law, the California Retail Food Code, establishes uniform health and sanitation standards for retail food facilities, including temporary food facilities, by the State Department of Public Health. Existing law provides that local health agencies are primarily responsible for enforcing this code. A violation of any provision of the code is generally punishable as a misdemeanor. Existing law requires temporary food facilities that operate at a community event to meet specified requirements, and defines "community event" for thesepurposes.purposes to mean an event that is of a civil, political, public, or educational nature, including state and county fairs. This bill wouldrequire a temporary food facility to be granted a permit to operate at a community event if the enforcement agency makes a determination that the temporary food facility meets specified requirements, and would require the permit to be issued for the entire duration of the community event. The bill wouldrevise the definition of community event to explicitly include a district fair.By requiring a local enforcement agency to issue a permit to a temporary food facility to operate at a community event under specified circumstances, 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, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.Vote: majority.
