§ 34-18-17 — Temporary food service license--Fee--Food service in connection with special promotions--Duration of license.

Each owner of a temporary food service establishment shall secure a license before beginning the operation of the establishment after making proper application on a form provided by the department and accompanied by the proper license fee. The license fee for a temporary food service establishment shall be thirty-eight dollars. Any business which offers food at no cost or consideration not more than three times in any calendar year and no more than three consecutive days at any given time in conjunction with a grand opening, promotion, or special product showing is exempt from the licensing and license fee provisions of this chapter. Such exemption from the licensing and license fee provisions does not release the owner of the establishment from compliance with the public health requirements of this chapter and the rules promulgated pursuant to this chapter. If the secretary is satisfied that the temporary food service establishment is in compliance with this chapter and the rules promulgated pursuant to this chapter, the secretary shall issue a license for thirty days from the date of issuance.
