An Act amending Title 3 (Agriculture) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in retail food facility safety, further providing for license required.
SB 108 exempts certain small-scale charitable food operations from Pennsylvania's retail food facility licensing requirements. Specifically, it adds exemptions for: (1) charitable nonprofit-owned facilities operating 12 or fewer days per year, and (2) facilities already covered under another exemption but also operating 12 or fewer days annually. This reduces regulatory burden for very limited, nonprofit food events like seasonal community fundraisers. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment and directly affects small charitable organizations hosting infrequent food sales.
