What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, no person may conduct, maintain, manage, or operate a

restaurant unless the operator or manager of the restaurant holds a valid certificate

of food protection practices (FPP certificate) issued by the Department of Health

Services (DHS). Current law defines "restaurant" to include any public or private

school lunchroom for which food service is provided by contract, but excludes from

the definition of "restaurant" any public or private school lunchroom for which food

service is directly provided by the school. A person may obtain an FPP certificate by

satisfactorily completing an examination that is approved by DHS and allows an

individual to demonstrate basic knowledge of food protection practices or by

achieving comparable compliance. An FPP certificate is valid for five years and may

be renewed if the holder of the FPP certificate satisfactorily completes an approved

examination.

This bill provides that no person may conduct, maintain, manage, or operate

a school lunchroom that is in a school that is participating in the federal National

School Lunch Program and for which food service is directly provided by the school

unless the operator or manager of the lunchroom, or his or her designee, holds a valid

FPP certificate issued by DHS.
