Exempts certain outdoor event spaces from food establishment regulations.

This bill amends the definition of "food establishment" to exempt certain outdoor event spaces from regulation. Specifically, it excludes outdoor event spaces that are part of a festival, which is defined as an event staged by a local community or organization that celebrates a certain aspect of that community or organization. The exemption applies to events such as fairs, art shows, chili cook-offs, car shows, hot air balloon festivals, religious festivals, drama festivals, or cultural festivals.
