Bill > SB714

This bill exempts mobile food service facilities, which are vehicles that prepare and sell food, and semipermanent food service facilities, which are structures transported as a complete unit without requiring a building permit and lacking indoor seating, located in Washington County from the general requirement that all food service facilities must provide a convenient toilet and lavatory for public use. The bill clarifies that a lavatory must be supplied with soap, water, and hand-drying devices and kept sanitary, while toilets must be separated from food preparation areas, kept sanitary, and properly ventilated. This exemption is specifically for Washington County and applies to these types of food service operations, with the changes to the law set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
