Accelerated restaurant equipment permitting approval: retail food safety.

California AB1915 aims to streamline permitting for like-for-like restaurant equipment installations. It allows certain businesses to operate without specific facilities, such as restrooms or drinking fountains, under certain conditions. The bill also introduces a certification process for equipment installations, exempting them from inspections if certified by a qualified licensed contractor. Additionally, it mandates building standards updates to accommodate temporary food facilities and pass-through window service openings.
