The Oregon Health Authority (OHA), Foodborne Illness Prevention Program, and the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA), Food Safety Division, are currently working together to review and adopt the 2009 FDA Food Code. Go to our Food Code Adoption webpage for updates on the process, hearings information, etc...
Temporary Restaurant Rule Adoption The Oregon Health Authority, Public Health Division is proposing to permanently adopt and amend administrative rules in chapter 333, divisions 12 and 157. The proposed rules implement the provisions of House Bill 2868, passed during the 2011 Oregon Legislative Session, which changes the licensing model for temporary restaurant facilities. House Bill 2868 was a collaborative effort of the temporary restaurant industry and state and local regulatory officials to improve the licensing model by reducing the costs of operating temporary restaurants by industry but still allowing regulatory officials to assure adequate public health protection. House Bill 2868 created new licensing categories that extend the period of time that licenses are valid and allows local health departments to conduct a comprehensive review of the operation’s food safety practices.
You are being invited to review the proposed rules and fiscal impact statement and to comment on them. If you wish to present oral testimony, a public hearing will be held in Portland, Oregon at 800 NE Oregon St, Room 1B, on February 16, 2012 at 2:30 p.m.
