The bill amends the Oklahoma Milk and Milk Products Act by specifying the types of sales that are exempt from certain regulations. It allows for incidental sales of ungraded raw milk and raw milk products directly to consumers at the farm where they are produced. Additionally, the bill clarifies that advertising for the incidental sale of goat milk, as well as ungraded raw milk and raw milk products, is permitted. It also introduces a provision that allows farmers or producers to make cheese using milk or cream produced on their own farms.
Furthermore, the bill increases the threshold for what constitutes incidental sales of milk products, raising the average monthly limit from 100 gallons to 1,500 gallons. This change aims to provide more flexibility for small-scale producers while ensuring compliance with health and safety standards. The bill includes an emergency clause, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
