    4  and insert:
    5         Section 1. Subsection (3) of section 509.101, Florida
    6  Statutes, is amended to read:
    7         509.101 Establishment rules; posting of notice; food
    8  service inspection report; maintenance of guest register; mobile
    9  food dispensing vehicle registry.—
   10         (3) It is the duty of each operator of a public food
   11  service establishment that provides commissary services to
   12  maintain a daily registry verifying that each mobile food
   13  dispensing vehicle or temporary commercial kitchen that receives
   14  such services is properly licensed by the division. In order
   15  that such licensure may be readily verified, each mobile food
   16  dispensing vehicle operator or temporary commercial kitchen
   17  operator shall permanently affix in a prominent place on the
   18  side of the vehicle or kitchen, in figures at least 2 inches
   19  high and in contrasting colors from the background, the
   20  operator’s public food service establishment license number.
   21  Prior to providing commissary services, each public food service
   22  establishment must verify that the license number displayed on
   23  the vehicle or kitchen matches the number on the vehicle or
   24  kitchen operator’s public food service establishment license.
   25         Section 2. Subsections (1), (2), and (3) of section
   26  509.102, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
   27         509.102 Mobile food dispensing vehicles; temporary
   28  commercial kitchens; preemption.—
   29         (1)(a) As used in this section, the term “mobile food
   30  dispensing vehicle” means any vehicle that is a public food
   31  service establishment and that is self-propelled or otherwise
   32  movable from place to place and includes self-contained
   33  utilities, including, but not limited to, gas, water,
   34  electricity, or liquid waste disposal.
   35         (b)As used in this section, the term “temporary commercial
   36  kitchen” means any kitchen that is a public food service
   37  establishment, used for the preparation of takeout or delivery
   38  only meals housed in portable structures that are movable from
   39  place to place by a tow or are self-propelled or otherwise axle
   40  mounted, that include self-contained utilities, including, but
   41  not limited to, gas, water, electricity, or liquid waste
   42  disposal. Such kitchens are subject to all provisions of this
   43  chapter except as may be provided herein. The term does not
   44  include a tent.
   45         (2)(a) Regulation of mobile food dispensing vehicles, and
   46  temporary commercial kitchens, involving licenses,
   47  registrations, permits, and fees is preempted to the state. A
   48  municipality, county, or other local governmental entity may not
   49  require a separate license, registration, or permit other than
   50  the license required under s. 509.241, or require the payment of
   51  any license, registration, or permit fee other than the fee
   52  required under s. 509.251, as a condition for the operation of a
   53  mobile food dispensing vehicle or temporary commercial kitchen
   54  within the entity’s jurisdiction. A municipality, county, or
   55  other local governmental entity may not prohibit mobile food
   56  dispensing vehicles or temporary commercial kitchens from
   57  operating within the entirety of the entity’s jurisdiction.
   58         (b)Any mobile food dispensing vehicle or temporary
   59  commercial kitchen that is operated on the same premises as and
   60  by a separately licensed public food service establishment may
   61  operate during the same hours of operation as the separately
   62  licensed public food service establishment that operates such
   63  mobile food dispensing vehicle or temporary commercial kitchen.
   64         (3) This section may not be construed to affect a
   65  municipality, county, or other local governmental entity’s
   66  authority to regulate the operation of mobile food dispensing
   67  vehicles or temporary commercial kitchens other than the
   68  regulations described in subsection (2).
   69         Section 3. This act shall take effect July 1, 2023.
