This bill amends the West Virginia commercial feed law by clarifying the definition of a "distributor." It specifies that individuals who sell products or commodities produced exclusively on their own farms are not considered distributors and, therefore, are exempt from obtaining a Commercial Feed Distributor Permit. This change aims to reduce regulatory burdens on small-scale farmers who sell their own products directly to consumers.

Additionally, the bill modifies the requirements for obtaining permits related to commercial feed distribution. It maintains that individuals must apply for a Commercial Feed Distributor Permit unless they fall under specific exemptions, including those who produce and sell exclusively from their own farms. The bill also outlines the application process and associated fees for various permits, ensuring that the regulatory framework remains clear and accessible for those involved in the commercial feed industry in West Virginia.
