Section 251-Z-4. Exemptions

In  addition  to  the  exemptions specified in
  subdivision  three  of  section   two   hundred   fifty-one-z-two,   the
  commissioner  may, if he determines that the protection of the consumers
  of the state as a whole will not be impaired by such action, provide  by
  regulation  for  exemption  from  licensing  of  small  food  processing
  establishments  when  he  finds  that  such   exemptions   would   avoid
  unnecessary  regulation and assist in the administration of this article
  without impairing its purposes. Regulations defining such exemptions may
  classify exempted establishments with respect to the volume and types of
  food handled, the types of processing involved, or with respect  to  any
  other  factor or combination thereof which bear a reasonable relation to
  the purposes of this article. Such exemptions may  be  conditioned  upon
  requirements relating to sanitation, record keeping and reporting as the
  commissioner may require.
