Support Georgia's Small Businesses!

Georgia should update its laws to expand the operability of mobile food service establishments such as food trucks. Reducing red tape and allowing greater flexibility for these highly popular small businesses should be a top priority for the legislature. 

The Georgia Department of Public Health should establish uniform statewide inspection criteria for county Boards of Health to use when inspecting mobile food service units. If a food truck has current permits in their county of origin, the state and counties should make it as seamless as possible for them to serve customers all over Georgia. 

This simple code change will reduce the burdensome over-regulation of these mobile food service establishments, as well as prevent unnecessary enforcement and reverification of permits by local agencies. 

I am writing to ask you to support the change to Georgia’s state code to establish a uniform statewide inspection criteria and a streamlined verification process for mobile food service establishments.
