This bill amends Chapter 16, Title 39 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 39-1608, which establishes provisions for cottage food operations. Specifically, it allows these operations to sell time/temperature control for safety foods directly to consumers, provided that their cumulative gross receipts do not exceed $5,000 in the current or previous calendar year. This change aims to support small-scale food producers by easing restrictions on the sale of certain food items.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2026. This expedited timeline indicates the legislature's intent to quickly implement these provisions to benefit cottage food operations in Idaho.
