House Reg Reform June 2026: Lemonade Stands, free coffee, EBT cards, and local health departments

Overly-zealous local health departments, take note: child lemonade stands and car dealership coffee are off limits for licensing and enforcement.

As summarized by the SFA:

The bill would prohibit counties, cities, villages, or townships from requiring a license, permit,
or registration for, or otherwise regulating, a temporary food establishment1 that meets the
following requirements:
• It uses only single-service articles.
• It limits food preparation to the mixing and serving of lemonade or other nonalcoholic
beverages that are not time/temperature controlled for safety, as that term is defined in
the federal Food Code.2
• It is operated by a minor.
• It is located on private property with the permission of the private property owner.
• It generates gross sales of $5,000 or less per calendar year.
The bill would also provide that these establishments are exempt from licensure under the act.

Revocation of local health department certification

The act allows MDARD to revoke the certification of a local health department that does not
meet the act’s requirements 30 days after providing notice of the deficiencies.

The bill would provide that a certification may be revoked 120 days after a notice from
MDARD and specify that the revocation would include any authority delegated to the local
department under the act. The bill also would eliminate a local department’s ability to request
the revocation of its certification.
