Plain-language change summary

The updated version of SB 25-285 included new definitions for "caterer" and "grocery store," which clarify the types of retail food establishments covered by the legislation. These changes are important because they help specify what businesses are subject to the updated fee schedule, ensuring appropriate regulations apply to various food service providers. By being clearer about these definitions, the law aims to better reflect the diversity of food retail in Colorado and streamline enforcement.
