Senate Bill 1089 amends the Health and Safety Code to establish that a food service worker trained in a food handler training course that is accredited by the Department of State Health Services and listed with the registry of accredited course programs is considered to have met a local health jurisdiction's training, testing, and permitting requirements. The bill also prohibits a local health jurisdiction from charging a fee or requiring or issuing a local food handler card for a certificate issued to a food service worker who provides proof of completion of an accredited food handler training course.
