Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in defining jurisdiction for food inspection services the Department of Health and Human Services, Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources, Division of Quality Assurance and Regulation shall apply a "predominance of business rule" based on a successful model used in the State of New York, where health and agriculture agencies share responsibility for food inspection. The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention is responsible for the inspection and regulation of places where food is consumed on the premises or sold ready-to-eat for off-premises consumption, including the site at which individual portions are provided. The Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources, Division of Quality Assurance and Regulation is responsible for the inspection and regulation of places where food is processed or manufactured, food warehouses, wholesale food distributors and retail food stores.

If an establishment has operations that may fall under the jurisdiction of both the Department of Health and Human Services, Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources, Division of Quality Assurance and Regulation, the Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources has jurisdiction over all operations of the establishment unless sales of food for consumption on the premises or ready-to-eat for off-premises consumption, measured by annual dollar receipts, exceeds 50% of total annual dollar receipts, in which case the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention has jurisdiction over the establishment. The field staff of the respective departments shall meet on a regular basis to resolve jurisdictional questions and issues.

Sec. F-6. Consistent application of policy, laws and rules. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Department of Health and Human Services, Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources, Division of Quality Assurance and Regulation shall administer the State's food policy, laws and rules in a consistent way for all licensed establishments and in a manner that eliminates inspector and program "shopping" by licensees.

Sec. F-7. Conflicts and inconsistencies; proposed legislation. If the Commissioner of Health and Human Services and the Commissioner of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources identify a conflict or inconsistency between provisions in the Maine Revised Statutes or rules adopted by the agencies, the commissioners shall attempt to resolve that conflict or inconsistency by interpreting the laws or rules together to give effect to the intent of the Legislature or agency, as the case may be. If the commissioners determine rulemaking is required to resolve a conflict or inconsistency, the commissioners shall adopt routine technical rules as authorized by law, the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2-A. In adopting rules under this section, the commissioners have sole discretion to determine whether an emergency exists. The commissioners may notify the members of the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over appropriations and financial affairs prior to adopting any emergency rule under this section. The commissioners may jointly submit proposed legislation necessary to fully implement the intent of this Part by October 1, 2008 to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over appropriations and financial affairs and the joint standing committee may submit legislation to the 124th Legislature based on the proposed legislation.
