SB170,1,3 1An Act to amend 97.30 (1) (c); and to create 66.0416 and 97.29 (1) (h) 12m. of
2the statutes; relating to: allowing minors to operate temporary stands without
3a permit or license.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill allows minors to operate temporary stands without a permit or license.
Under current law, a facility that processes food for sale must obtain a food
processing plant license from the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer
Protection. If food will be sold at retail at the same location where it was prepared,
the facility must obtain a retail food establishment license from DATCP. In addition,
current law does not restrict the ability of municipalities to prohibit a minor from
operating a temporary stand or to require a permit or license for a minor operating
a temporary stand.
Under the bill, a place used for preparing food for sale at a stand operated by
a minor does not need a food processing plant license from DATCP, and a stand
operated by a minor does not need a retail food establishment license. In addition,
under the bill, a municipality may not prohibit a minor from operating a stand or
require a permit or license for a minor operating a stand. The bill defines a “stand
operated by a minor” as a temporary, occasional establishment operated on private
property by children under the age of 18 that makes occasional sales, defined under
current law as sales of less than $2,000 in a year.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
