Operative words
Adopted an extension of emergency amendments to Rule 33.5, which remain effective until Feb. 20, 2021.... The rule amendments: Remove the requirement to invest in expensive equipment. Remove the requirement that food be prepared at the location (food service is enough). Require FB Certificate holders and applicants to comply with all of the governor's applicable executive orders and all minimum standard health protocols.... Many establishments that would have otherwise remained shuttered have been able to reopen and operate in a safe manner due to these amendments
Enforcement
FB Certificate conditioned on compliance with executive orders and health protocols
Notes
The regulator's own finding that establishments 'would have otherwise remained shuttered'.
