Purpose
The purpose and effect of this proposed rule is to clarify the requirements for the sanitation notice to guests; remove the requirement that newly constructed or extensively remodeled public lodging establishments comply with the more stringent and costly Food Code sanitation requirements relating to glassware, tableware, and utensils. The proposed rule will allow public lodging establishments to continue to comply with sanitation requirements by using ordinary household dishwashers in lieu of installing commercial dishwashers or three-compartment sinks. The proposed rule also adopts minimum requirements for approved locking devices and exempts licensed nontransient apartments from specific kitchen requirements.
