What's the Bill C 1802 of 2011?

2011-05-29T15:57:00.001-04:00

Bill of the Representative Chamber of the Commonwealth of PR- C 1802 2011

Recently have been approved a bill in the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bill C 1802 of 2011 which seeks to put "stars" at the entrance of restaurants operating in Puerto Rico. In essence proposes a pilot program to be implemented in four regions of the island city This seems a good idea but with plenty of room for re consideration of the measure. Since first leaving the fate of a substantial part of the population of Puerto Rico. On the other hand, involves a problem of poor efficiency due to lack of allocation of economic resources necessary to achieve the objective of the measure. Below we present part of a research proposal for this purpose. The next part is regarding the legal framework involved.

1.6. Legal Framework
This research proposal seeks to promote an analysis of strengths and weaknesses from the point of view of cost effectiveness associated with Project C. 1802 of 2011 in the House of Representatives.

1.6.1 Historical Data: This project was submitted to the Health Committee of the Legislature on June 30, 2009 by the Honorable Representative Junior Perez. It was referred to the House of Representatives in plenary for approval by Positive Report February 11, 2011. And unanimously approved the February 17, 2011 by the Assembly. Currently on schedule in the Senate of Puerto Rico (Secretary of the Senate, Senate of Puerto Rico, 2011) for review and approval or denial.

1.6.2 Promote a legal analysis by considering the right of all citizens to health and wellness.

Is a function of the State to identify and provide the resources necessary to ensure the health and welfare of the constituents? Well, that’s the way established in the Charter of Rights in the Constitution of Puerto Rico (commonwealth Constituent Assembly, 1952)

1.6.3 Not be construed as restricting the power of the Legislature to enact laws for the protection of life, health and welfare of the people. (Constituent Assembly of the Commonwealth, 1952) which means we have to evaluate the pilot program promoted by the Project C. 1802 of 2011, as it would be implemented for one year in only four municipalities of the Island.
Namely Bayamón, Carolina, Guaynabo, and San Juan. What about the rights of other residents of other city regions?
It would be unfair to all the facilities that only one percent rated it as low as a business without qualifying could discourage the auspices of the clientele (Maricamen Rivera Sanchez, 2011)
The study should examine the law and if it is matched with the needs of our society. See if it is right or wrong, why and what change would do to improve it. (Lcda. Millet Migdalia Ocasio, 2000)
In that sense be taken as an argument to support research that in the past have been incidents of this nature usually found in other towns not sheltered under Bill C. 1802 of 2011. Example: Sunday, April 10, 2005 was published in El Nuevo Día editorial titled, "epidemiologist Alert hepatitis A in Ponce." At that time it was state epidemiologist Dr. Francisco Alvarado. The officer raised a warning urging anyone who had eaten at the McDonald's of By Pass Ponce between 17 and 31 March 2005, should see a doctor if symptoms of hepatitis A (The Associated Press, 2005) As Dr. Alvarado, a restaurant employee had tested positive for hepatitis A. Test And there was the possibility that this would spread to other people. (The Associated Press, 2005)

It is precisely at this point where this becomes more relevant research proposal, as it forces evaluate the cost effectiveness of the measure C. Project 1802 of the House of Representatives and any other effort that the government intends to make a counterpart to the economic and health (socio-economic) that may arise if not addressed properly.
In other words, the danger (Office of Legislative Services, 2011) or risk versus the precautionary measures of economy like last 7.del Act 2009, Special Act Declaring a State of Fiscal Emergency and Establishing Comprehensive Fiscal Stabilization Plan to Save Credit Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico's Legislative Assembly, 2009)

Ministerial responsibility is proposed to be exercised when setting public policy in the area of environmental health and how they are identified, collected and reported the findings with epidemiological information. It is about recognizing the high risk involved emphasizing prevention and education, enforcement and monitoring by the authorities.

There is a real danger to eating away from home? / Existe un Real Peligro al Comer fuera Del Hogar?

It is a fact that in each of the Puerto Rican households at least some of its members or someone known to them has suffered some form of food poisoning pathogens and has not been reported. And fortunately many of the cases presented a clinical picture whose symptoms disappear within hours or days. In many other cases the medical diagnosis is indigestion or effects of any virus. Only the most severe cases are reported and processed properly. This research proposal suggests the following question: Is it worth taking the risk of the same mechanisms under some kind of Foodborne Disease (FBD)? Or how many people have contracted Hepatitis A and do not know for not presenting symptoms or after a certain time after infection?How do you know visited the establishment meets minimum standards of sanitation and proper hygienic handling of food?ETAs calls (Foodborne Diseases) globally is a widespread health problem and a major cause of reduced economic productivity. Predominate including Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) in children, Salmonella, parasites and gastroenteritis. (Admin, 2011)According to the USDA United States (2006) Perishable foods can cause illness if not handled properly. Proper handling of food and leftovers is essential to ensure food safety of their food. (USDA Department of Agriculture of the United States, 2006)The same Committee on Health, House of Representatives recognizes this and sets it in the preamble of Bill C. 1802 of 2011.Given the constant threats to public health is necessary to regularly inspect the premises of establishments for the sale of food to the public. It is common knowledge that eating outside the home is no longer a mere convenience to become a constant necessity in the daily lives of our citizens. (Office of Legislative Services, 2011)
Spanish:
Es un hecho real que en cada uno de los hogares puertorriqueños al menos alguno de sus miembros o alguien conocido por ellos ha sufrido algún tipo de intoxicación por patógenos alimentarios y que no haya sido reportado. Ya que afortunadamente muchos de los casos presentan un cuadro clínico cuyos síntomas desaparecen en horas o días. En otras tantas ocasiones el diagnóstico médico es de una indigestión o efectos de algún tipo de virus. Solamente los casos más severos son reportados y procesados como es debido. Esta propuesta de investigación sugiere la siguiente pregunta: ¿Vale la pena correrse el riesgo de contraer bajo los mismos mecanismos algún tipo de Enfermedad Transmitida por Alimentos (ETA)? O ¿Cuántas personas han contraído Hepatitis A y no lo saben por no haber presentado síntomas o presentarlos luego de transcurrido un tiempo luego del contagio? ¿Cómo saber que el establecimiento visitado cumple con los estándares mínimos de salubridad y manejo higiénico adecuado de alimentos? Las llamadas ETAs (Enfermedades Transmitidas por Alimentos), a nivel mundial constituyen un problema sanitario generalizado y una causa importante de reducción en la productividad económica. Entre ellas predominan el Síndrome Urémico Hemolítico (SUH) en niños, la Salmonelosis, parasitosis y gastroenteritis. (Admin, 2011)Según el Departamento de Agricultura Federal de los Estados Unidos (2006) los alimentos perecederos pueden causar enfermedades cuando no se manejan adecuadamente. El manejo adecuado de alimentos y de sobras es esencial para asegurar la inocuidad alimentaria de sus comidas. (USDA Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos, 2006)La misma Comisión de Salud, de la Cámara de Representantes así lo reconoce y lo establece en la exposición de motivos del Proyecto de Ley C. 1802 de 2011.Ante las constantes amenazas a la salud pública es necesario que se inspeccionen regularmente las instalaciones de establecimientos dedicados al expendio de alimentos al público. Es de conocimiento general que el comer fuera del hogar ha dejado de ser una mera conveniencia para convertirse en una necesidad constante dentro de la vida cotidiana de nuestros ciudadanos.

There is a real danger when eating away from home?

2011-05-21T14:35:00.000-04:00

Economic constraints often forced to limit our time to eat at home. As options have proliferated eating out. According to the Author "in the last twenty years, the Puerto Rican home has undergone a total transformation on all the socio-economic rung. According to (Eurelia Perez Olivo, 2009) to the 2000 Census reported dramatic changes in data related to the role of women in family composition.
In the past four decades the number of households where women are heads of households either by divorce, separation, widowhood or single status had the most significant rise.

In 1970, 15.6% of households were headed by women, no husband present. Today those homes are 27%, an increaseof 71.2% (Eurelia Perez Olivo, 2009)
According to the Census (Office of the Procurator for Women, 2006) women in Puerto Rico constitute 51.9% of the total population and an estimated 62.968 homes in PR are headed by single women, versus one-headed households 6.841 men alone (according to Census 2000) This is not to have matched the balance of seats held by women and of men in the workforce. In fact according to a publication of the Department of Labor of Puerto Rico, (Office of the Procurator forWomen, 2006) in 2004 labor force participation rate for women was 36.6 versus 58.9 for men.

These are some of the factors that have seen an increased participation of women in the workforce.They divide their time between household chores and the formal work by which earns the income.

Proliferation of food establishment

Despite the economic crisis in the world and also Puerto Rico has affected the restaurant industry has remained strong and significant contribution to the economy. The restaurant industry is one of the two major segments that make up the Food Industry (Samuel H. Jove, 2008)Within this sector of the economy are different categories and business turnover. According to Samuel H. Jove (2008) bakeries, cafes, taverns, restaurants and even the food kiosks are sheltered under the Partnership. They serve meals to workers and the general public eats away from home (Samuel H. Jove, 2008) In Puerto Rico there are more than 7,000 such establishments. (Samuel H. Jove, 2008)

According to Peter Martin (2010) the island has become a mecca for connoisseurs of gastronomy and a feasibility test of all kinds of ethnic dishes. It is incredible that in an island of only 100 miles long and 35 meters wide has more than 20,000 food establishments. With so many culinary offerings, you could say that there is a palate that can not find something delicious to his home in Puerto Rico (Peter Martin, 2010)

The Secretary of Health of Puerto Rico in his address to the Health Committee of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico in Puerto Rico said there are 30,000 food establishments (Maricamen Rivera Sanchez, 2011)

In today's busy world, meals "to go" and "sharing" are very popular. Some of these foods are purchased hot and others cold. The restaurant meals light meals are consumed, usually at the time. Packaged meals can be purchased in advance for later consumption as a source of antipasto or a full meal for holidays. No matter the occasion, more and more people are depending on others to prepare their meals. (USDA Department of Agriculture of the United States, 2006)

This phenomenon has affected other jurisdictions in the United States, but the monitoring and control system has the support of the news media (ABC WFTV Channel 9 Orlando, 2005)

After all the above mentioned became part of a formal investigation we should expect more secure and safety system were to deposit a
