The Honorable Ken Rahjes, Chairperson
House Committee on Agriculture
Statehouse, Room 149D-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Rahjes:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2156 by House Committee on Agriculture
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2156 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2156 would amend existing law concerning milk, cream, dairy products and on-farm
retail sale of milk to make on-farm retail sale of milk and milk-products lawful if the label or
advertisement for the products contains language specified in the bill. The bill would exempt milk
or milk products produced for on-farm retail sale from the current statutory definition of milk. On-
farm retail sales of milk or milk products would be defined as the sale of unpasteurized raw milk
or unpasteurized raw milk products. The prohibition against the person making these sales
promoting the sales in any manner other than a sign posted on the premises of the dairy farm would
be removed. The bill would also remove the definition of “goat milk” from existing law.
According to the Kansas Department of Agriculture, enactment of HB 2156 would have
no fiscal effect on the agency.


Sincerely,

Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
