HB2636 Summary

• Allows mobile food vendors to operate on private residential property if they obtain written permission from the property owner, do not serve the general public, and the vendor is not the same person as the property owner or trustee.

• Prohibits cities and towns from requiring mobile food vendors to pay more than one annual fee to operate on private property (except for special event permits) and from requiring fingerprinting unless operating in non-private residential areas.

• Eliminates the requirement for mobile food units to be re-inspected by a city or town fire department if they have passed a fire inspection by another Arizona city or town fire department within the preceding 12 months.

• Requires cities and towns with populations exceeding 50,000 to make all applicable license applications available online and permits vendors to apply electronically rather than in person.

• Establishes statewide health and safety licensing standards for mobile food units by category, with licensing delegated to county health departments where the commissary is located and reciprocal recognition across all counties.
