HF 4268 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Mobile food unit licensure requirements modified.

This bill modifies Minnesota's regulations for mobile food units, such as food trucks and carts, by establishing new rules for how the state can license and inspect them. It directly affects mobile food unit operators, local governments, and state health officials by limiting what restrictions can be placed on these businesses. The law prohibits rules that limit the number of licenses, set operating hours, restrict propane capacity, require GPS tracking, mandate constant motion, or force agreements with commissaries when proper waste disposal is already in place. Additionally, it requires the state to transfer a portion of mobile food unit licensing fees to local governments based on how many days each unit operated in their jurisdiction, and it clarifies that mobile food units are not classified as high, medium, or low-risk establishments for inspection purposes.
