OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Omaha may require food trucks to use a commissary kitchen daily. The City Council votes on the proposal May 19.
- The Douglas County Health Department already includes the commissary kitchen requirement in its guidelines, but Omaha city code does not. The proposal would make it official and enforceable.

- “I mean, with all these new laws going into an effect, I think it’s a lot easier for people to trust food trucks and food truck owners and know that, hey, we do our best to be clean.”
