AB 1470: Food facilities: retail food safety.

This bill aims to improve food safety standards in California by revising existing laws. It would prohibit food facilities from locating grease traps or interceptors in food preparation areas, but would allow exemptions if certain structural or maintenance requirements are met. The bill also revises requirements for passthrough windows, exempting larger windows if equipped with air curtain devices or self-closing devices. Additionally, it exempts walls and ceilings in bar areas and restrooms used by employees from durability and cleanliness standards. Furthermore, it updates requirements for temporary food facilities, allowing exemptions if environmental factors are absent that could contaminate food. The bill would impose a state-mandated local program and determine reimbursement for costs mandated by the state.
