§ 104860 Department Regulation Authority

• •The department has to create rules that are needed for this article.
• •The department also has to enforce (make sure people follow) those rules.
• •This applies to any situation covered by the article.

The state health department creates rules about how often restaurants must clean their kitchens and makes sure they follow them.

Because the law says the department must adopt and enforce needed regulations, the health department can set cleaning rules and check restaurants to see they follow them.
