SUMMARY:Navigating New Public Health Regulations for NC Bars Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Attention North Carolina bar owners and operators! Starting March 27\, new health inspection regulations will come into effect\, impacting many bars across the state. To ensure you’re well-prepared and compliant\, NCRLA is hosting a webinar on Monday\, Jan. 29 at 1:30 pm. To register for the webinar\, CLICK HERE. \nThis informative session will feature panelists: \n\nShane Smith\, Public Health Branch Head at NCDHHS\nCarolyn Griffin\, NCRLA’s Specialist in Food Safety and Lodging Regulations\nHardy Lewis\, Attorney with expertise in ABC Law\n\nThe webinar will provide an in-depth review of the new health permit requirements that will affect bars serving food. Additionally\, there will be a Q&A segment for bar owners about regulations pertaining to establishments offering only drink garnishes and unopened commercial snack packages\, which are exempt from these new rules. Context: With the enactment of House Bill 125\, significant changes were introduced\, amending the definition of a bar and impacting health inspection protocols. This followed the removal of the “private bar” requirement by House Bill 768\, leading to a broad classification of bars and exemption from inspections. These upcoming changes mark a significant shift for many bars that have never undergone health inspections. NCRLA is committed to guiding you through these transitions under the new legislative landscape. READ MORE
