Bill > S1605

This bill establishes statewide food truck health regulations by adding a new section to Chapter 111 of the General Laws. Specifically, the bill requires the Department of Public Health to create comprehensive rules for annual health inspections of food trucks, including detailed guidelines for inspection schedules, documentation, cleanliness standards, and inspection costs. The department is mandated to develop these regulations within one year of the act's enactment, ensuring a standardized approach to food truck health and safety across the state. By creating these uniform regulations, the bill aims to protect public health by ensuring that mobile food vendors maintain consistent sanitation and hygiene practices, while also providing a clear framework for how and when food trucks will be assessed for compliance.
