What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under this bill, no person may label a food product as, or sell or offer for sale
a food product that is labeled as, any type of milk unless the food product is cow's milk
or hooved or camelid mammal's milk or a type of milk that meets certain
specifications under federal law. The bill also requires the Department of
Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to promulgate rules to implement the
prohibition in the bill.

fifteen states listed in the bill enact a prohibition similar to this bill by June 30, 2031;
otherwise the prohibition in the bill does not apply.
