Title

Incarceration; to require the Alabama Department of Public Health to adopt and enforce sanitation standards for food services in corrections facilities, county, and municipal jails

Description

Existing law requires that the food served to state inmates be wholesome, but otherwise sets no standards for food sanitation prepared in or for correctional facilities and county and municipal jails.

This bill would require the Alabama Department of Public Health to assume jurisdiction over sanitation in cafeterias and other food services operated by the Department of Corrections and county and municipal jails by tailoring appropriate requirements which would include regular sanitation inspections and the reporting and correction of sanitary violations.
