City Mulls Rule on Posting Health Inspection Grades
The City Council has introduced an ordinance that would require businesses to post the letter grades given to them by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services.
If the measure is adopted, restaurants, bars, markets, bakeries and liquor stores would have to display the signs in public view.
The county requires restaurants to post a A, B or C grades so patrons can see how the establishments are complying with health codes. But in order for the posting rule to be enforced within a city, it must adopt a conforming ordinance.
Only 30 out of 83 cities in the county have adopted the ordinance.
A public hearing on the issue is scheduled Sept. 15.
