Missoula County opposes SB 254 - Provide fees in statute for licensure as retail food establishment, as heard in Senate Business, Labor and Economic Affairs this morning. SB 254 will revert to placing fees for restaurants, grocery stores and bars back into Administrative Rule. Moving the fee setting to rule-making process was an adopted part of the comprehensive "Food Modernization Act" put together in the 2013-2015 interim and was reviewed by interested parties (state, local, food purveyors) represented on the DPHHS Food Safety Advisory Committee. The license fees do not cover the cost of the mandate, which places the burden on the local taxpayer. In Missoula, the fee covers 29 percent of the cost and this percentage dropping each year.
