Food and Food Products - As enacted, clarifies that a person 19 or older does not need a license or permit to sell bakery goods, homemade or otherwise; soft drinks; or other similar food commodities if the person is supporting a 501(c)(3) organization, and a component of such organization's mission is to provide temporary accommodations for children in relationship to their placement in the custody of the department of children's services. - Amends TCA Title 68, Chapter 14.

HB 2020 amends Tennessee's food safety law to exclude churches, temples, synagogues, and civic or veteran's organizations from the definition of "food service establishment" when food is prepared, served, transported, or stored by volunteer personnel. This means these groups will not be subject to commercial food safety regulations, such as health inspections or food handler permits, for volunteer-run food activities. The bill clarifies that storing unopened canned food, non-hazardous packaged bulk food, or dry goods does not affect this exemption. The change takes effect upon becoming law, reducing regulatory burden for volunteer-based food operations.
