An act to amend Sections 110480 and 113789 of the Health and
Safety Code, relating to food safety.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 170, Wolk. Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park.
Existing law prohibits, with some exceptions, the manufacture,
packing, or holding of processed food without a valid registration
from the State Department of Public Health.
This bill would, beginning January 1, 2016, exempt from the
registration requirements the milling, packaging, and selling of
grain produced and sold at a water-driven grist mill on the National
Register of Historic Places, provided best management practices
suitable for a historic water-driven grist mill are followed for the
processing and handling of the product, the flour is identified as
being produced in a historic mill using traditional methods, and the
product meets applicable federal food adulteration purity standards.
Existing law, the California Retail Food Code, provides for the
regulation of health and sanitation standards for retail food
facilities, as defined, by the department and is primarily enforced
by local health agencies. A violation of any provision of the code is
a misdemeanor.
This bill would, beginning January 1, 2016, exclude from the
definition of a retail food facility a water-driven grist mill that
is on the National Register of Historic Places and that has onsite
sales of grain that is milled at the facility. The bill would make
related findings, declarations, and statements of legislative intent.
This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 113789
of the Health and Safety Code proposed by AB 1990 and SB 1235, to be
operative only if this bill and either or both of those bills are
chaptered and become effective on or before January 1, 2015, and this
bill is chaptered last.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the
following:
(1) Recent legislation that established a moratorium on closure of
state parks and a matching funds program to help keep state parks
open have increased outreach to the public through the use of
creative partnerships and other innovative tools, and other
provisions have helped stabilize the Department of Parks and
Recreation and broaden its financial base.
(2) Ongoing efforts by the Parks Forward Commission, the State
Parks and Recreation Commission, and the Department of Park and
Recreation to develop a more secure financial base for the department
through the increased use of pilot projects, the sale of specialized
or regional passes, and other internal reforms are providing early
signs of success that should be strengthened.
(3) A stable funding structure must be established for the state
parks, including a more entrepreneurial and robust revenue-generation
strategy with increased efficiency and accountability, and a
dedicated, reliable source of public funding that will meet ongoing
operating needs and continually reduce the backlog of unmet
maintenance needed to protect valuable park assets.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this act to
encourage the Department of Parks and Recreation and the State
Department of Public Health to consult with each other to develop and
implement additional, reasonable improvements designed to increase
public health security at the Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park,
without impairing or adversely affecting historical, cultural, or
natural resources.
