The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 154, seeks to amend chapter 417 of the general statutes to expand the sales opportunities for cottage food operations. Specifically, it authorizes these operations to sell their homemade food products at any farm store or cafe that is located within a twenty-mile radius of their private residential dwelling.

This change aims to support local cottage food businesses by providing them with more venues to reach customers, thereby enhancing their market presence and potentially increasing their sales. The bill does not indicate any deletions from current law, focusing solely on the new insertion that allows for this expanded selling capability.
