An act to amend Sections 113779, 113789, 113839, 113984, and
114266 of, to add Sections 113729.5, 113780, and 113794.3 to, and to

Division 104 of, the Health and Safety Code, relating to food safety.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 226, as amended, Atkins. Retail food safety: fishermen's
markets.
Existing law, the California Retail Food Code, establishes uniform
health and sanitation standards for, and provides for regulation by
the State Department of Public Health of, retail food facilities and
various types of food. Among other things, the code requires
nonpermanent food facilities that handle nonprepackaged food to
protect the food from contamination and limit the display and
handling of nonprepackaged food. The code also establishes specified
food safety and sanitation requirements for certified farmers'
markets governing food preparation, storage, and sampling, among
other things. Under existing law, local health agencies are primarily
responsible for enforcing the code. A person who violates any
provision of the code is guilty of a misdemeanor, except as otherwise
provided.
This bill would create a new type of nonpermanent food facility,
defined as a "fishermen's market," that would be a food facility
operated by a licensed commercial fisherman or an entity representing
two or more California-licensed commercial fishermen or
California-licensed commercial fishermen and California-registered
aquaculturists, that sells only raw edible aquatic plants, raw fresh
fish, or fresh frozen fish, caught by California-licensed commercial
fishermen or harvested by California-registered aquaculturists,
directly to consumers. The bill would establish and impose food
safety and sanitation requirements upon a fishermen's market. The
bill would authorize only a licensed commercial fisherman or an
entity representing two or more California-licensed commercial
fishermen or California-licensed commercial fishermen and
California-registered aquaculturists to act as the responsible person
and sole permitholder for a fishermen's market, and would require
that fisherman or entity to submit a permit application and site
plan, including specified information, to the enforcement agency at
least 2 weeks prior to the operation of the fishermen's market. The
bill would define terms for its purposes and make conforming changes.
This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 113789
of the Health and Safety Code proposed by AB 143 that would become
operative if both this bill and AB 143 are enacted and this bill is
enacted last.
This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 113789
of the Health and Safety Code, proposed by AB 143 and AB 234, that
would become operative only if this bill and either or both of those
bills are chaptered and become effective January 1, 2016, and this
bill is chaptered last.
By imposing new enforcement requirements on local health agencies,
and by creating a new crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated
local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no
reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that,
if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains
costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall
be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
