The bill amends the Manufacturing Milk Law of 2001, specifically section 157, to update the regulations surrounding the grading of butter. It introduces new legal language stating that only graders approved by the department are permitted to grade butter, replacing the previous requirement that only a grader approved by the department shall grade butter. Additionally, the standards for grading butter are now referenced as those described in 7 CFR part 58, rather than the previous citation of 7 C.F.R.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies the definition of "grading" to encompass the classification of butter based on various factors, including flavor, aroma, body and texture, color, salt, package, and any other factors that may be approved by the department. This change aims to modernize the grading process and ensure that it aligns with current standards and practices.
