Provides that a retailer may allow a consumer to fill or refill a personal container with bulk food if the dispensers used prevent the direct handling of the bulk food. Provides that county health departments and municipalities shall not prohibit the ability of a retailer to allow a consumer to fill or refill a personal container with bulk food if the dispensers used prevent the direct handling of the bulk food.Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Provides that take-home containers provided for consumer use must be cleaned, stored, and dispensed (rather than stored and dispensed) in a sanitary manner. Provides that personal containers filled or refilled by customers with bulk food shall be clean and sanitary. In a provision that prohibits a county health department or municipality from prohibiting the ability of a retailer to allow a consumer to fill or refill a personal container with bulk food, adds an exception if the prohibition is provided for in a specified provision of the Illinois Administrative Code and adds a requirement that the personal containers must be clean and sanitary. 2/15/2019HouseFiled with the Clerk by Rep.
