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.

The prohibition in the bill applies only if at least 10 states out of a group of 15

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.
