The Workgroup on the Licensing of Food Service Facilities (the Workgroup) will be holding its first meeting on Thursday, July 12, 2018.

The Workgroup was established in 2018 by HB 1009. This bill requires the Workgroup to study, evaluate, and make recommendations concerning whether (1) certain entities, including charitable organizations, churches, and other nonprofits, should be exempt from the requirement to obtain a food service license under Title 21, Subtitle 3 of the Health – General Article; (2) special circumstances, including circumstances in which food is pr​epared in a kitchen in a private home for certain purposes, may warrant an exemption from the requirement to obtain a food service license under Title 21, Subtitle 3 of the Health – General Article; and (3) food service facility laws may be simplified or clarified.
