An act to add Article 5 (commencing with Section 114289) to
Chapter 9 of Part 7 of Division 104 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to food facilities.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2432, John A. Perez. Food facilities: prepackaged
nonpotentially hazardous foods.
Existing law, the California Retail Food Code, provides for the
regulation of health and sanitation standards for retail food
facilities, including mobile food facilities and satellite food
service, as defined, by the State Department of Public Health. Under
existing law, local health agencies are primarily responsible for
enforcing this code. A violation of these provisions is punishable as
a misdemeanor.
This bill would, notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, exempt a permanent food facility that has less than 300
square feet of display area and that sells only prepackaged food that
is not potentially hazardous food, from the requirements of the
California Retail Food Code, except for prescribed provisions, and
would permit the enforcement agency to recover investigation and
enforcement costs.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Article 5 (commencing with Section 114289) is added to
