What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill eliminates the authority of the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to regulate the activities of a bakery and the sale of baked goods. Under current law, a food processing license is generally required to operate certain facilities at which food is manufactured or prepared for sale through processes such as baking, canning, freezing, and bottling, and DATCP may promulgate rules governing the operation of those facilities. If the food will be sold at retail at the same location as it was manufactured or prepared, a retail food establishment license may also be required, and DATCP has authority to promulgate rules governing those operations, as well. Under current law, a bakery is defined as a place where a food product that has flour or meal as its principal ingredient is baked, cooked, or dried, or is prepared or mixed for baking, cooking, or drying.
Under the bill, performing the activities of a bakery does not require a food processing license and is not subject to rules promulgated by DATCP governing the operation of facilities at which food is manufactured or prepared. In addition, the bill provides that a bakery is not required to be licensed as a retail food establishment and is not subject to rules promulgated by DATCP governing the operation of retail food establishments.
