2017 House Bill 4811

Senate Roll Call 141: Passed

To reverse an alleged drafting error in a 2016 amendment to a law imposing a licensure mandate and fees on food establishments, with the effect that automatic inflation increases in the fees since 2009 were rolled back. The bill increases the fees to reflect what they would have been, and freezes them through 2024. The bill also amends Michigan's food law to make it align with changed federal laws and rules. The Senate added language to regulate "micro-markets" under the same state food code section that authorizes vending machine rules. Wikipedia describes these as using "automated self-checkout technology in order to operate in locations that need an unattended payment experience".
