Bill > SB108

This bill amends Pennsylvania's retail food facility safety regulations by expanding license exemptions for certain types of food facilities. Specifically, the bill provides that a retail food facility owned by a charitable nonprofit entity and a retail food facility meeting certain existing criteria will be exempt from licensing requirements if they operate for no more than 12 days each calendar year. This means that short-term food service operations run by nonprofits or meeting specific existing conditions will not need to obtain a food service license, provided they only operate for a limited number of days annually. The change aims to reduce regulatory burden for temporary or intermittent food service providers while still maintaining public health standards. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, giving affected organizations time to understand and adapt to the new exemption rules.
