The bill, H.B. No. 3522, introduces a new regulation regarding the labeling and sale of honey in Texas. It amends the Agriculture Code by adding Section 131.085, which stipulates that any product labeled as "Texas honey" must consist exclusively of honey produced from apiaries located within Texas. This measure aims to ensure that consumers are accurately informed about the origin of the honey they purchase, thereby protecting the integrity of Texas honey producers.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing time for compliance with the new labeling requirements. By enforcing these standards, the legislation seeks to promote local honey production and safeguard the reputation of Texas honey in the marketplace.
