California Retail Food Code: microenterprise home kitchen operations.<\/p>\n<p>Existing law, the California Retail Food Code, establishes uniform health and sanitation standards for retail food facilities for regulation by the State Department of Public Health, and requires local enforcement agencies to enforce these provisions. Existing law defines \u201cfood facility\u201d as an operation that stores, prepares, packages, serves, vends, or otherwise provides food for human consumption at the retail level, as specified. Existing law exempts, among others, a private home, including a registered or permitted cottage food operation, from the definition of food facility. A violation of the California Retail Food Code is generally a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n<p>This bill would, among other things, include a microenterprise home kitchen operation within the definition of a food facility, and would define a microenterprise home kitchen operation to mean a food facility that is operated by a resident in a private home where food is stored, handled, and prepared for, and may be served to, consumers, and that meets specified requirements, including, among others, that the operation has no more than one full-time equivalent food employee and has no more than $50,000 in verifiable gross annual sales. The bill would specify that the governing body of a city or county, or city and county, shall have full discretion to authorize, by ordinance or resolution, the permitting of microenterprise home kitchen operations in accordance with the provisions of this bill, except as provided. The bill would require a microenterprise home kitchen operation to be considered a restricted food service facility for purposes of certain provisions of the code, except as otherwise provided, and would exempt a microenterprise home kitchen operation from various provisions applicable to food facilities, including, among others, provisions relating to handwashing, sinks, ventilation, and animals. The bill would require the applicant for a permit to operate a microenterprise home kitchen operation to submit to the local enforcement agency written standard operating procedures that include specified information, including all food types or products that will be handled and the days and times that the home kitchen will potentially be utilized as a microenterprise home kitchen operation.<\/p>\n<p>The bill would require an Internet food service intermediary, as defined, that lists or promotes a microenterprise home kitchen operation on its Internet Web site or mobile application to, among other things, be registered with the department, to clearly and conspicuously post on its Internet Web site or mobile application the requirements for the permitting of a microenterprise home kitchen operation, as specified, prior to the publication of the microenterprise home kitchen operation\u2019s offer of food for sale, and to submit the name and permit number of a microenterprise home kitchen operation to the local enforcement agency if it receives, through its Internet Web site or mobile application, 3 or more unrelated individual food safety or hygiene complaints in a calendar year from consumers who have made a purchase through its Internet Web site or mobile application. The bill would also make related findings and declarations.<\/p>\n<p>By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.<\/p>\n<p>This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 113789 of the Health and Safety Code proposed by AB 2178 and AB 2524 to be operative only if this bill and AB 2178, this bill and AB 2524, or all 3 bills are enacted and this bill is enacted last.<\/p>\n<p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.<\/p>\n<p>This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.<\/p>\n<p>Vote:\u00a0majority\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Appropriation:\u00a0no\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fiscal Committee:\u00a0yes\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Local Program:\u00a0yes<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:<\/p>\n<h3>SECTION 1.<\/h3>\n<p>(a)\u00a0The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:<\/p>\n<p>(1)\u00a0California is the largest agricultural producer and exporter in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0California is home to the \u201cfarm-to-table\u201d movement, which embraces the idea that restaurants and other food sellers should prioritize locally and sustainably produced foods.<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0Many cities have embraced the idea of locally grown, produced, and prepared foods. Sacramento, for example, proclaimed itself the farm-to-fork capital of America.<\/p>\n<p>(4)\u00a0Accordingly, Californians have shown a preference for supporting local agriculture and local business and for finding sustainable solutions to food insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>(5)\u00a0The retail and commercial food market is an integral part of California\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>(6)\u00a0Small-scale, home-cooking operations can create significant economic opportunities for Californians that need them most \u2014 often women, immigrants, and people of color.<\/p>\n<p>(7)\u00a0Under existing law, individuals can sell food through retail food facilities or cottage food operations, the latter of which being limited to a restricted list that primarily consists of nonperishable food items that can be prepared in the home. Both of these options make it difficult for the vast majority of home cooks to independently benefit from their labor, skills, and limited resources.<\/p>\n<p>(8)\u00a0Because the bar for entry to restaurant ownership is high, and the cost of renting a retail kitchen is so great, an informal economy of locally produced and prepared hot foods exists in the form of meal preparation services, food carts, and communally shared meals.<\/p>\n<p>(9)\u00a0However, due to a lack of appropriate regulations, many experienced cooks in California are unable to legally participate in the locally prepared food economy and to earn an income legally therein.<\/p>\n<p>(10)\u00a0As a result, and because they feel they have no other option, thousands of private chefs, home caterers, and many other food microentrepreneurs cook out of private homes or unlicensed food facilities, with little access to education for best practices or safety guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>(11)\u00a0Many of these cooks are unable to enter the traditional food economy based on disability, family responsibilities, or lack of opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>(12)\u00a0Under existing law, preparing and selling food from a home kitchen normally can be treated as a criminal act and may be punishable as a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n<p>(13)\u00a0Providing guidelines, training, and safety resources to home cooks would also increase public health safeguards in existing informal food economies.<\/p>\n<p>(14)\u00a0The exchange of home-cooked food can also improve access to healthy foods for communities, particularly in food deserts with severely limited options.<\/p>\n<p>(15)\u00a0The California Retail Food Code establishes health and sanitation standards for retail food facilities. That law exempts private homes from the definition of a food facility and includes cottage food operations in that exemption.<\/p>\n<p>(16)\u00a0Therefore, the Legislature should create a framework that authorizes the safe preparation and sale of meals prepared in home kitchens, providing adequate regulations and requirements for food handling and safety.<\/p>\n<p>(b)\u00a0It is the intent of the Legislature that this act authorize the use of home kitchens for small-scale, direct food sales by home cooks to consumers, providing appropriate flexibility in food types and appropriate health and sanitation standards.<\/p>\n<h3>SEC. 2.<\/h3>\n<p>Section 110460 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:<\/p>\n<h6>110460.<\/h6>\n<p>No person shall engage in the manufacture, packing, or holding of any processed food in this state unless the person has a valid registration from the department, except those engaged exclusively in the storing, handling, or processing of dried beans. The registration shall be valid for one calendar year from the date of issue, unless it is revoked. The registration shall not be transferable. This section shall not apply to a cottage food operation that is registered or has a permit pursuant to Section 114365 or a microenterprise home kitchen, as defined in Section 113825.<\/p>\n<h3>SEC. 3.<\/h3>\n<p>Section 111955 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:<\/p>\n<h6>111955.<\/h6>\n<p>\u201cFood processing establishment,\u201d as used in this chapter, shall mean any room, building, or place or portion thereof, maintained, used, or operated for the purpose of commercially storing, packaging, making, cooking, mixing, processing, bottling, canning, packing, slaughtering, or otherwise preparing or handling food except restaurants. \u201cFood processing establishment\u201d shall not include a cottage food operation that is registered or has a permit pursuant to Section
