INTRODUCED BY   Senator Gaines

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Section 110430 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to food safety.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 623, as introduced, Gaines. Food safety.
   Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health to
adopt regulations providing for the issuance of permits to
manufacturers, processors, or packers of a class of food that may be
injurious to the health of any human or other animal that consumes
the food by reason of contamination with micro-organisms during
manufacture, packing, or storage.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 110430 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   110430.  Whenever the department finds that a class of food
distributed in this state may, by reason of contamination with
micro-organisms during manufacture, packing, or storage, be injurious
to the health of any man or other animal that consumes  it
  the food  and that the injurious nature cannot be
adequately determined after this food has entered commerce, the
department shall adopt regulations providing for the issuance of
permits to manufacturers, processors, or packers of the class of
food. These permits shall establish conditions governing the
manufacture, packing, or storage of the class of food for the period
of time as may be necessary to protect the public health. The
regulations shall prescribe a date after which no person shall
introduce or deliver for introduction into commerce any food
manufactured, packed, or stored by any manufacturer, processor, or
packer, unless the person holds a permit issued by the department as
provided by the regulations.
