AI Summary
This bill establishes a statewide licensing framework for food trucks in Wyoming, defining a food truck as a fully enclosed mobile food establishment on a motor vehicle or trailer where food is prepared, cooked, sold, or served for immediate consumption. The bill stipulates that if a food truck is licensed in any Wyoming county, city, or town, that license will be valid throughout the entire state. Food truck operators must be able to provide evidence of a food processing license from the state agriculture department or local health department, a sales tax license if required, compliance with fire safety standards to be determined by rule, and adherence to applicable federal and state laws governing commercial food establishments. The bill also updates existing definitions in state law to explicitly include food trucks as a type of commercial food establishment and expands the scope of existing food safety regulations. The departments of agriculture and health are required to develop rules to implement these provisions, with most of the bill becoming effective on July 1, 2025, though some sections take effect immediately upon the bill becoming law. The legislation aims to streamline food truck operations and create a more uniform regulatory environment across Wyoming.
