Sidewalk Vending & Micro-Enterprise

Home Kitchen Operations

Thursday, October 22
On Demand


Recent changes to State law have greatly affected how local jurisdictions can regulate and enforce sidewalk vending and micro-enterprise home kitchens. While these are separate issues, they have much in common. This course will review current law affecting sidewalk vending and MEHKOs, as well as approaches and parameters for local regulation and enforcement options. Attendees will take away a strong understanding of local laws and enforcement tools as they relate to these activities.
