What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law generally prohibits the sale of unpasteurized (commonly called

raw) milk and other milk products.

This bill authorizes a dairy farmer with a grade A dairy farm permit to sell

unpasteurized milk, buttermilk, butter, and cream directly to consumers on the farm

if the dairy farmer obtains a raw milk permit from the Department of Agriculture,

Trade and Consumer Protection, the container is prepared and filled in a sanitary

manner, and the dairy farmer displays a sign indicating that raw milk does not

provide the protection of pasteurization. The bill also provides that a dairy farmer

is not liable for selling a product as authorized by the bill, except in cases of willful

or wanton acts or omissions.
