Self-service food vendors, vending machines and micro markets defined, Agriculture and Industries to regulate

Description

Under current law, vending machines are regulated by the Department of Agriculture and Industries, and certain items sold via unattended self-checkout establishments, commonly known as micro markets, may fall under the regulatory authority of the Department of Public Health.
