§ 6-139. Same—Duration.

(a)

Any food establishment permit granted under the provisions of section 6-136 shall remain in full force through December 31 of the applicable calendar year of issuance as long as the annual food establishment permit fee is paid, unless denied, suspended or revoked for cause. A food establishment permit that lapses for nonpayment will be reinstated upon payment of the permit fee and a late fee in accordance with the applied fees schedule, except for permits that have lapsed for more than 60 days. Food establishments without permit for an excess of 60 days may not be reinstated and must obtain new permits and comply with current regulations for new businesses. It will be the responsibility of the food establishment owner and/or manager to ensure a valid permit exists at all times.

(b)

An exception to subsection 6-136(a) above is that a temporary food establishment permit shall remain in full force and effect for a period of time not more than 14 consecutive days in conjunction with a single event or celebration from date of issuance unless sooner suspended or revoked for cause.

Exception: Seasonal snow cone stands.
