A. The board of county commissioners in any county that qualifies under Section 210 of this article is hereby authorized and empowered to make and enforce all reasonable rules and regulations with regard to the preservation and promotion of public health; provided, that any such rules or regulations shall have first been recommended or approved by the city-county board of health, and further provided that such rules and regulations shall not be inconsistent with state laws or rules and regulations of the State Board of Health. Such rules and regulations shall be operative throughout the county, except within the limits of incorporated cities and towns. Any such rules adopted by county commissioners relating to an establishment where food or drink is offered for sale or sold shall not be more stringent than the rules for such establishments adopted by the State Board of Health; provided, that rules adopted prior to May 31, 2008, which directly relate to training and permit requirements for food managers and food handlers and fees related to such establishments shall, in addition to the license fee required by the State Board of Health, be exempt from the provisions of this subsection.
B. The board of county commissioners is also authorized to provide for the levying and collection of fees for services performed by such city-county health department outside the boundaries of incorporated cities and towns within such county. Any person who violates any rule or regulation made by such board of county commissioners under the authority of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
