What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, a person must have a certificate of food protection practices to manage or operate a restaurant. A person must pass a written examination that is approved by the Department of Health Services (DHS), or achieve comparable compliance, to obtain a certificate. A certificate is valid for five years and may be renewed upon satisfactory completion of a recertification training course that is approved by DHS.

This bill requires that a person pass a written examination on food protection practices that is approved by DHS to renew a certificate of food protection practices.

Read the full summary

The bill also authorizes DHS to promulgate an emergency rule establishing criteria for approving an examination for certificate renewal without providing evidence that an emergency rule is necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, safety, or welfare and without making a finding of emergency.
