The Michigan Legislature is working on state-wide policy, for food truck fire-system inspection standards.

The proposed state house language will do the following:

Item 1: One annual fire-system inspection, done at the local or county level.

This has several exceptions:

Major modifications to the vehicle or major upgrades/modifications to the fire-system on the vehicle. These two scenarios would require an additional inspection, if they were to occur during the annual period.

Item 2:

An annual inspection fee of $200.

Note: Currently there is no limit to the number of fees and inspections of the fire-system, a food truck owner can be subjected to.

Item 3:

Higher inspection standards for the food truck's fire-system.

Note: This state-wide policy will dramatically cut lost work days and truck travel for redundant inspections.

This will benefit the general food truck community, by making more trucks available for events around the state.

Note: The Michigan House Bill # will be added in September.
