A BILL FOR

An Act exempting nonprofit corporations and their vendors from certain food establishment license fees.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 137F.6, subsection 1, paragraph b, Code 2015, is amended to read as follows:
   b.  For a temporary food establishment per fixed location, thirty-three dollars and fifty cents.  However, a nonprofit corporation organized under chapter 504, or a vendor operating on behalf of a nonprofit corporation at a temporary food establishment, shall be exempt from imposition of the fee.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with

the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   Currently, Code section 137F.4 requires all food establishments to obtain a license prior to operation. Code section 137F.6 imposes a license fee on food establishments that operate for no more than 14 consecutive days in conjunction with a single event or celebration, referred to as “temporary food establishments”, of $33.50 per fixed location. This bill exempts nonprofit corporations that operate temporary food establishments from the fee currently imposed. The exemption includes vendors who operate on behalf of the nonprofit corporation at the temporary food establishment.
