Title

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.

This bill would exempt micro markets and vending machines offering certain types of food from regulation by the Department of Public Health.

Vending machines and micro markets would instead be regulated by the Department of Agriculture and Industries.
