Establishes statewide mobile retail food establishment licenses in Indiana, effective January 1, 2027.

Indiana HB1409 amends the state code to establish a statewide mobile retail food establishment license, effective January 1, 2027. The bill ensures that these licenses do not prohibit owners or operators from complying with food or beverage tax collection and reporting requirements, or municipal business permits and ordinances. Local health departments will handle license applications, fees, and semiannual inspections. The bill also reconciles conflicts with existing statutes, ensuring that mobile food establishment licenses do not require county or local health or safety licenses or fees.
