                        FEBRUARY 8, 2012

   An act to amend Sections 110460, 111940, 111955, 113789, 114021,
and 114023 of, and to add Article 5 (commencing with Section 113400)

Code, relating to food safety.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1616, as amended, Gatto. Food safety: cottage food operations.
   Existing law, the Sherman Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law (Sherman
Law), requires the State Department of Public Health to regulate the
manufacture, sale, labeling, and advertising activities related to
food, drugs, devices, and cosmetics in conformity with the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The Sherman Law makes it unlawful to
manufacture, sell, deliver, hold, or offer for sale any food that is
misbranded. Food is misbranded if its labeling does not conform to
specified federal labeling requirements regarding nutrition, nutrient
content or health claims, and food allergens. Violation of this law
is a misdemeanor.
   The existing California Retail Food Code provides for the
regulation of health and sanitation standards for retail food
facilities, as defined by the State Department of Public Health.
Under existing law, local health agencies are primarily responsible
for enforcing the California Retail Food Code. That law also
prohibits food stored or prepared in a private home from being used
or offered for sale in a food facility. A violation of these
provisions is a misdemeanor.
   This bill would exempt a cottage food operation, as defined, from
specified food processing establishment, Sherman Law, and California
Retail Food Code requirements. This bill would  require a
cottage food operation   create a classification system
for cottage food operations and would require these classifications
 to meet specified requirements relating to  sanitation,
packaging, and labeling  training, sanitation,
labeling, and permissible types of sales  . This bill would
 authorize the State Public Health Officer  
require the local health department  to adopt implementing
regulations, as specified, and procedures for  a 
registration  system   and permitting systems
for each classification  . This bill would also authorize
 the State Public Health Officer   local health
officials  to access the registered  or permitted  area
of a private home where a cottage food operation is located  for
purposes of inspection  , as specified. This bill would
prescribe civil penalties for a violation of its provisions 
, and would provide for local permitting of cottage food operations
 .
   By imposing duties on local officials, this bill would create 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. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


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

  SECTION 1.  The Legislature finds and declares all of the
following:
   (a) Small businesses have played an important role in helping slow
economies recover and prosper as an engine of job creation. During
the 1990s, small businesses created the majority of new jobs and now
account for 65 percent of United States employment.
   (b) California, and the United States as a whole, are facing
growing obesity and obesity-related disease epidemics.
   (1) Two-thirds of American adults and nearly one-third of children
and teens are obese or overweight, placing them at risk for
developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and
cancer.
   (2) One in every nine California children, one in three teens, and
over half of adults are already overweight or obese. This epidemic
affects virtually all Californians.
   (3) These health conditions are preventable and curable through
lifestyle choices that include consumption of healthy fresh foods.
   (c) For decades, low-income and rural communities have faced
limited opportunities to purchase healthy foods. Often, without cars
or convenient public transportation options, low-income residents in
these areas must rely for much of their shopping on expensive, fatty,
processed foods sold at convenience and corner stores.
   (d) There is a growing movement in California to support
community-based food production, sometimes referred to as "cottage
food," "artisanal food," "slow food," "locally based food," or "urban
agriculture" movements. These movements seek to connect food to
local communities, small businesses, and environmental
sustainability.
   (e) Increased opportunities for entrepreneur development through
microenterprises can help to supplement household incomes, prevent
poverty and hunger, and strengthen local economies.
   (f) At least 25 other states have passed laws that allow small
business entrepreneurs to use their home kitchens to prepare, for
sale, foods that are not potentially hazardous.
   (g) Even some bake sales are currently illegal in California.
   (h) It is the intent of the Legislature to enact a homemade food
act specifically designed to help address these challenges and
opportunities.
  SEC. 2.  Section 110460 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to
read:
   110460.  No person shall engage in the manufacture, packing, or
holding of any processed food in this state unless the person has a
valid registration from the department, except those engaged
exclusively in the storing, handling, or processing of dried beans.
The registration shall be valid for one calendar year from the date
of issue, unless it is revoked. The registration shall not be
transferable. This section shall not apply to a cottage food
operation, as defined in Section  113400  
113401  .
  SEC. 3.  Section 111940 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to
read:
   111940.  (a) If any person violates any provision of Chapter 4
(commencing with Section 111950), Chapter 5 (commencing with Section
112150), Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 112350), Chapter 7
(commencing with Section 112500), Chapter 8 (commencing with Section
112650), Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 113025), Article 3
(commencing with Section 113250) of Chapter 11, or Article 5
(commencing with Section 113400) of Chapter 11, of this part, or
Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 108100) of Part 3, or any
regulation adopted pursuant to these provisions, the department may
assess a civil penalty against that person as provided by this
section.
   (b) The penalty may be in an amount not to exceed one thousand
dollars ($1,000) per day. Each day that a violation continues shall
be considered a separate violation.
   (c) If, after examination of a possible violation and the facts
surrounding that possible violation, the department concludes that a
violation has occurred, the department may issue a complaint to the
person charged with the violation. The complaint shall allege the
acts or failures to act that constitute the basis for the violation
and the amount of the penalty. The complaint shall be served by
personal service or by certified mail and shall inform the person so
served of the right to a hearing.
   (d) Any person served with a complaint pursuant to subdivision (c)
of this section may, within 20 days after service of the complaint,
request a hearing by filing with the department a notice of defense.
A notice of defense is deemed to have been filed within the 20-day
period if it is postmarked within the 20-day period. If a hearing is
requested by the person, it shall be conducted within 90 days after
the receipt by the department of the notice of defense. If no notice
of defense is filed within 20 days after service of the complaint,
the department shall issue an order setting the penalty as proposed
in the complaint unless the department and the person have entered
into a settlement agreement, in which case the department shall issue
an order setting the penalty in the amount specified in the
settlement agreement. When the person has not filed a notice of
defense or where the department and the person have entered into a
settlement agreement, the order shall not be subject to review by any
court or agency.
   (e) Any hearing required under this section shall be conducted
pursuant to the procedures specified in Section 100171, except to the
extent they are inconsistent with the specific requirements of this
section.
   (f) Orders setting civil penalties under this section shall become
effective and final upon issuance thereof, and payment shall be made
within 30 days of issuance. A copy of the order shall be served by
personal service or by certified mail upon the person served with the
complaint.
   (g) Within 30 days after service of a copy of a decision issued by
the director after a hearing, any person so served may file with the
superior court a petition for writ of mandate for review of the
decision. Any person who fails to file the petition within this
30-day period may not challenge the reasonableness or validity of the
decision or order of the director in any judicial proceeding brought
to enforce the decision or order or for other remedies. Section
1094.5 of the Code of Civil Procedure shall govern any proceedings
conducted pursuant to this subdivision. In all proceedings pursuant
to this subdivision, the court shall uphold the decision of the
director if the decision is based upon substantial evidence in the
whole record. The filing of a petition for writ of mandate shall not
stay any corrective action required pursuant to the Miscellaneous
Food, Food Facility, and Hazardous Substances Act, as defined in
subdivision (b) of Section 27, or the accrual of any penalties
assessed pursuant to this section. This subdivision does not prohibit
the court from granting any appropriate relief within its
jurisdiction.
   (h) The remedies under this section are in addition to, and do not
supersede, or limit, any and all other remedies, civil or criminal.
