On May 15, 2006, the Governor signed into law SB 144 (Runner) which enacted the California Retail Food Code (CalCode).

This new law which completely replaces the California Uniform Retail Food Facilities Law (CURFFL), represents a culmination of an extraordinary collaborative effort of the California Retail Food Safety Coalition (CRFSC) – a broad-based coalition of federal, state and local regulators and the retail food industry.
