South Carolina H5523 defines "mobile food unit" and allows fire departments to inspect them for fire code compliance.

South Carolina H5523 amends the state code to define "mobile food unit" as a fully enclosed mobile kitchen that prepares, cooks, or serves food. The bill allows any organized fire department in the state to conduct inspections of these units to ensure compliance with relevant fire code requirements. A certification from an organized fire department is sufficient to satisfy inspection requirements for operating throughout the state.
