Food Establishments - Lavatory Requirement and On-Farm Food Service Facility License
Approved by the Governor - Chapter 189
Summary
The bill changes the lavatory rule for agritourism businesses, limited wineries and farm breweries, allowing a portable chemical toilet placed at least 25 feet from a well to satisfy the requirement. It also creates a one‑year on‑farm food service license with a fee set by the Health Department that cannot exceed $100, and directs the department to issue detailed regulations. These changes aim to simplify compliance for small farm‑based food operations while protecting public health.
