Microenterprise Home Kitchen Amendments
What changed between versions
Added new definitions for terms including 'microenterprise home kitchen', 'ready-to-eat', 'microblading', and 'permanent cosmetics' to clarify what is covered under the new regulations.
Requires operators to obtain a permit from their local health department and submit written consent and standard operating procedures before operating.
Establishes specific inspection schedules, requiring initial inspections no more than one week before operations begin and limiting unscheduled inspections to within three days of operation start.
Sets restrictions on time and temperature controlled foods, requiring logs and limiting how long such foods can be held before sale or discard.
Prohibits onsite consumption of food sold at microenterprise home kitchens and requires consumers to pick up or receive delivery within a safe time period.
Limits what local health departments can regulate, explicitly exempting them from requiring certain commercial kitchen standards like dedicated laundry facilities, specific ventilation, or fixed temperature measuring devices.
Allows local health departments to charge additional fees if an inspection finds the kitchen was the source of an adulterated food or illness outbreak.
Sets the effective date of the bill as May 7, 2025.
