Alabama SB197 requires statewide health and fire inspections for mobile food vendors, exempting them from local inspections.

Alabama SB197 mandates that mobile food vendors undergo one health inspection and one fire inspection that apply statewide, exempting them from individual local inspections. The State Fire Marshal must establish a uniform statewide fire inspection process and maintain a list of authorized fire inspectors. The bill also sets criminal penalties for operating without valid health and fire inspection certificates. Local health and fire officials can still inspect mobile food units if they suspect immediate risks to public health or safety.
