The bill amends subsection 3 of section 23-09.5-02 of the North Dakota Century Code, which governs cottage food transactions. The key changes include the removal of restrictions on interstate commerce and the ability to conduct transactions over the internet, phone, or through the mail. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the sale of uninspected poultry products is permissible under certain conditions, specifically if the cottage food operator raises the poultry themselves and adheres to specific guidelines regarding the number of poultry and the nature of the products sold.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision that allows the sale of poultry products if the transaction involves interstate commerce, thereby expanding the scope of cottage food transactions. This legislation is declared an emergency measure, indicating its immediate importance and the need for prompt implementation.
