AI Summary
This bill directs the Department of Health to create regulations that allow businesses that prepare food outside of the Commonwealth (out-of-state caterers) to obtain a permit to provide food services for events within the Commonwealth. These permits will be specifically for temporary, short-term events or for mobile food units that are already permitted to operate in the Commonwealth, and will not allow out-of-state entities to establish permanent food service locations without the proper permits.
