HB 5451 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Food: service establishments; annual fire inspections for food trucks; provide for. Amends sec. 6135 of 2000 PA 92 (MCL 289.6135) & adds secs. 2130 & 6115a.

HB 5451 requires food trucks (mobile food establishments) to undergo annual fire inspections and additional inspections after significant modifications to fire safety systems, such as kitchen equipment or fuel piping. It creates a public database tracking these inspections and mandates that operators notify fire inspectors within 30 days of license applications or modifications. The bill specifies that inspections must comply with the International Fire Code, with results valid for one year (limiting inspections to once annually unless safety concerns arise). This directly affects food truck operators, who must pay a $200 maximum fee for annual inspections but receive no charge for additional safety-related checks.
