Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Covered location operators avoid food licenses

Individuals operating locations under Michigan's 1978 PA 260 (MCL 393.351 to 393.368) are exempt from Food Law licensing. This exemption applies to operators and locations covered by that specific law, not all food sellers.

Small honey producers avoid food licenses

Michigan honey and maple syrup producers can run a retail outlet and processing facility without food licenses. Producers must operate the outlet, sell prepackaged Michigan-made products, and stay within the cottage-food gross-sales limit. This section does not state the dollar limit. When both facilities are exempt, products must carry labels substantially similar to cottage-food labels.
