 Introduced by M. of A. ROSENTHAL -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. SIMON
 -- read once and referred to the Committee on Agriculture

 AN ACT to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to estab-
 lishing a grading system for retail food stores, food service estab-
 lishments and food warehouses

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The agriculture and markets law is amended by adding a new
 2 section 501 to read as follows:
 3 § 501. Retail food store, food service establishment and food ware-
 4 house grading system. 1. The commissioner shall establish a system for
 5 grading inspection results for retail food stores, food service estab-
 6 lishments and food warehouses, as defined in section five hundred of
 7 this article. Such system shall use and post letters A, B or C to iden-
 8 tify and represent such grading and classification with all other lower
 9 grades being deemed to be failing grades. In establishing such system of
 10 grading, the commissioner shall take into account the provisions of
 11 title eight of article thirteen of the public health law and the
 12 provisions of the sanitary code to establish a grading system that
 13 reflects the safety and sanitation of the premises and food handling
 14 practices to ensure compliance with state and local laws.
 15 2. Such retail food stores, food service establishments and food ware-
 16 houses shall conspicuously post near the entrance to such establishment
 17 the letter grade identifying and representing the result of such estab-
 18 lishment's most recently graded inspection by the department. Such post-
 19 ing shall be done in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated
 20 by the commissioner. In addition to a letter grade, such establishment
 21 shall receive the findings upon which such grade is based. The retail
 22 food store, food service establishment or food warehouse may appeal such
 23 subsequent assignment of a letter grade designation to the commissioner
 24 for review within thirty days of such assignment. While any such appeal

 1 is pending, the retail food store, food service establishment or food
 2 warehouse shall post the letter grade that is being appealed.
 3 3. The suggested interval between regularly scheduled inspections of
 4 retail food stores, food service establishments and food warehouses may
 5 be as follows:
 6 (a) for establishments with a grade of "A", at least once every year;
 7 and
 8 (b) for establishments with a grade of "B", at least once every nine
 9 months.
 10 4. A retail food store, food service establishment or food warehouse
 11 that requests a reinspection from the department, shall pay the depart-
 12 ment a fee of up to two hundred fifty dollars. Provided however that the
 13 provisions of this subdivision shall not negate the ability of any
 14 department to inspect a retail food store, food service establishment or
 15 food warehouse on the basis of a complaint from a member of the public.
 16 § 2. This act shall take effect two years after it shall have become a
 17 law. Effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of
 18 any rule or regulation necessary for the implementation of this act on
 19 its effective date are authorized to be made and completed on or before
 20 such effective date.
