IL SB3544

Amends the Food Handling Regulation Enforcement Act to require counties without local health departments to contract with adjacent health departments to register cottage food operations and enforce regulations.

Defines "mobile farmers market" and permits cottage food operations to sell directly to consumers through mobile farmers markets with third-party property holder consent.

Maintains existing prohibited foods list (meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, low-acid canned foods, sprouts, cut leafy greens, wild mushrooms, alcoholic beverages, kombucha) while allowing limited exceptions for certain baked goods and acidified products.

Requires cottage food operators to register annually with local health departments (fee not to exceed $50) and meet food safety standards including certified food protection manager certification, proper labeling, and recipe testing for canned tomatoes and fermented/acidified foods.

Grants local health departments authority to inspect operations, set inspection fees, and impose penalties or revoke registration upon consumer complaints, foodborne illness reports, or health hazards.
