HB 2602 proposes new permitting and inspection requirements for mobile food units. The bill requires that, before issuing a permit, a county or public health district must review plans of a mobile food unit’s food preparation, storage, and sales areas to determine compliance with state and local health laws. In addition to the initial permitting inspection, a preoperational inspection must be conducted to verify that the unit is built and equipped according to approved plans, has established standard operating procedures, and meets all legal requirements. If an applicant fails an inspection, the county or public health district may reinspect the unit at a later date. The bill also mandates that the Health and Human Services Commission adopt rules necessary for implementation.
