BILL NUMBER:S4840

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the public health law, in relation to the establishment of a
letter grading system to classify inspection results for public
food service establishments

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
The purpose of the bill is to require
all food service establishments, food carts and pushcarts, schools,
entertainment/sports venues, and hospitals to post a letter grade
indicating the result of a health inspection of its food serving
establishment.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
This bill requires food service
establishments, temporary food service establishments, mobile food
service establishments, pushcarts schools, hospitals, and places of
entertainment, including privately or publicly owned and operated
facilities such as a theatre, stadium, arena, racetrack, museum,
amusement park, or other place where performances, concerts,
exhibits, athletic games or contests are held for which a donation is
recommended or required or an entry fee is charged to post the letter
grade representing the result of the most recent health inspection.

Due process safeguards are part of this bill. If a letter grade of "A"
is not received, the establishment will receive the inspection
findings, and can request a re-inspection that will occur within 7 to
21 days. After the re-inspection, a letter grade will again be
assigned. if the re-inspection, that finding can be appealed and a
review shall occur within 30 days.

This system shall not apply to:

- premises licensed for on-premise consumption of alcoholic beverages
pursuant to the alcoholic beverage control law when less than ten
percent of the gross sales of such establishment is derived from the
retail sale of food for on-premises consumption;

- food service establishments that do not engage in the retail sale of
food for on-premises or off premises consumption from such
establishment;

- food service establishments that are operated in or by a
correctional facility; or

- food service establishments that are sponsored by a charitable
organization to operate a soup kitchen or other food distribution
program for the elderly, low income individuals and families or the
infirm.

JUSTIFICATION:
A recent report by ESPN "Outside the Lines"
high-lighted findings of health department inspection reports for
food and beverage outlets at all 107 North American arenas and
stadiums that were home to MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL teams in 2009. From
the 107 venues, 30 (28 percent) had been cited for at least one
"critical" or "major" health violation. A "critical" or "major"
health violation is one that poses a risk for food borne illnesses
that can cause an ailment or in extreme cases possible fatalities.

The New York State Department of Health is responsible for the
inspection of public places where food is prepared, sold or served,
including restaurants and cafeterias in New York. Local health
department inspectors conduct surprise inspections to check
compliance with state and local laws.

A uniform statewide system of inspection and grading will provide
consumers an easy way to decide if he or she wishes to eat from a
particular food establishment. Such system will provide encouragement
to keep food establishments sanitary.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
S.8458 of 2010.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect one year after it shall have become a law.
Provided, however, that effective immediately, any rules and
regulations necessary to implement the provisions of this act on its
effective date are authorized and directed to be completed on or
before such date.
