Food: licensing; licensure exemptions; modify. Amends sec. 4105 of 2000 PA 92 (MCL 289.4105).
HB 4493 amends Michigan's Food Law (MCL 289.4105) to expand licensure exemptions for food businesses. It specifically adds "certain disabled individuals" to the list of entities exempt from standard food establishment licensing requirements. This change allows disabled individuals operating qualifying food businesses - such as those selling whole fruits/vegetables or unprocessed products - to avoid full licensure under the same conditions as existing exemptions. The bill modifies Section 4105's existing exemption framework without altering other provisions or creating new regulatory burdens.
