Act, the Illinois Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Sanitary
Food Preparation Act, the regulations of the Illinois

    A home rule unit may not regulate retail food
establishments in a less restrictive manner than as provided in
this Section. This Section is a limitation of home rule powers
under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the
Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule

enter into an intergovernmental agreement with a local health
district, as defined in Section 11 of the Public Health
District Act and that serves the entire municipality, to
regulate and inspect retail food establishments for the
municipality. An intergovernmental agreement shall not
preclude a municipality or local health district from

establishment" includes a food service establishment, a
temporary food service establishment, and a retail food store
as defined in the Food Service Sanitation Code, 77 Ill. Adm.
