Bill > HB4205

This bill amends the Michigan Food Law to update and expand definitions within the existing law, with a key new addition being the introduction of the term "qualified premises", which specifically includes licensed premises of micro brewers, small wine makers, and tasting rooms. The bill makes several technical modifications to existing definitions, such as clarifying language around terms like "raw agricultural commodity", "regulatory authority", "retail food establishment", and various other food-related terms. The changes involve mostly grammatical adjustments and minor wording refinements, such as replacing "indicating" with "that indicates" or changing "the" to "this" in some contexts. The bill also adds some formatting improvements by inserting commas and making slight syntactical improvements. Importantly, the bill is tied to House Bill 4204, meaning it will only take effect if that companion bill is also enacted into law. The modifications appear primarily aimed at providing more precise and clear definitions within the existing food regulatory framework, potentially helping to streamline interpretation and application of the law for food service establishments and regulatory authorities.
