The bill amends subsection 3 of section 23-09.5-02 of the North Dakota Century Code, which governs cottage food transactions. It removes restrictions that previously prohibited these transactions from involving interstate commerce and being conducted over the internet, by phone, through the mail, or by consignment. Additionally, the bill clarifies the conditions under which uninspected poultry products can be sold by cottage food operators, specifically allowing sales if the operator raises and slaughters no more than one thousand poultry in a calendar year and does not buy or sell poultry products from other sources.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision that permits the sale of poultry products if the transaction involves interstate commerce, thereby expanding the scope of cottage food transactions. The bill is declared an emergency measure, indicating its immediate necessity for implementation.
