Removed requirements for time/temperature control for safety foods, hand washing, food contact restrictions, date marking, and fingernail requirements for certain food employees.
Added new sections to the bill covering additional statutes (89-186, 89-187, 89-187.02, and 89-187.05) related to Weights and Measures Act harmonization.
