What must be submitted for any changes in establishment ownership or location?

When there are changes in establishment ownership or location, a new establishment license application is required to ensure compliance with state regulations. This process is essential because it re-evaluates the establishment under the current standards and criteria set by the Mississippi State Board.

The need for a new application is rooted in the fact that the ownership change may bring about new management practices, different operational standards, or variations in how services are rendered, all of which could impact public health and safety. Additionally, if a business is relocating, the new location may have different zoning laws or health regulations that need to be adhered to.

In contrast, other options like a notice of compliance, transfer of ownership form, or a change of address form do not suffice to cover the comprehensive requirements necessary for a new ownership or location. These do not replace or update the formal licensing process that validates the establishment's adherence to health and safety regulations at the new location or under the new ownership. Therefore, submitting a new establishment license application serves as a critical step in maintaining oversight and ensuring the establishment continues to operate within the regulatory framework.
