Bill Text: CA SB972 | 2021-2022 | Regular Session | Chaptered

Standard CMFOs must conduct only "limited food preparation" and are often required to operate in conjunction with a permitted commissary or Mobile Support Unit for cleaning and storage.
This section was significantly modified by California Senate Bill 972 (2022) to lower barriers for sidewalk vendors, allowing certain home-based kitchens to serve as support facilities for these carts. Other Notable References
Operations with less than 25 square feet of display area selling only prepackaged, non-potentially hazardous food or whole produce are generally exempt from standard permit requirements but must still adhere to basic health and safety standards.
