Update on the Raw Milk Legislation

Assembly Committee Approves Raw Milk Bill

March 30, 2010 11:03 a.m. |

A bill that would allow farmers to sell raw, unpasteurized milk directly to consumers has moved out of an Assembly committee.

The Rural Economic Development Committee approved the bill 8-1. The move clears the way for a vote in the full Assembly.

Under the measure, farmers who register with state agriculture officials could sell raw milk through the end of next year. Farmers would have to record each sale and test the milk for disease-causing microbes.
