Bill > SB1793

This bill creates the Mobile Food Vendor Act, which establishes a statewide licensing and regulation system for mobile food vendors in Oklahoma. Key provisions include: - Requiring mobile food vendors to obtain a license from the State Department of Health, with separate licenses required for each food vending vehicle. - Prohibiting local authorities from banning mobile food vendors that hold a valid state license and comply with other state and local laws. - Establishing application requirements, license fees, and inspection procedures for mobile food vendors based on the level of food preparation and risk. - Allowing local authorities to regulate mobile food vendors' operating hours, noise, and use of public parks, but restricting them from imposing additional permits or overly burdensome requirements. - Authorizing the Department of Health to investigate complaints, suspend or revoke licenses, and issue civil penalties for violations. - Preempting local regulations that conflict with the provisions of the act. The bill aims to create a consistent statewide framework for mobile food vending while preserving some local control and authority.
