First Raw Milk, Now Butter and Cream, Too? The Legislature Will Answer
The debate over raw milk has arrived in the legislature which is already legal for direct sale. Now, lawmakers are considering expanding that to include products like butter and cream. Representative Dawson Holle is championing House Bill 1131, arguing it could energize the local dairy industry by offering consumers more fresh, local options. However, not everyone is on board. Critics raise safety concerns, emphasizing the need for clear regulations to protect both consumers and producers. The House Agriculture Committee has yet to offer their recommendation on the bill.
HB 1131
A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 4.1-25-40.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the sale of raw milk products; and to provide a penalty.
House Sponsors: Holle (R, District 31), Conmy (D, District 11), Fisher (R, District 5), Hauck (R, District 36), Hendrix (R, District 10), J. Olson (R, District 26), Toman (R, District 34), VanWinkle (R, District 3)
