Bill > HB3192

This bill creates the West Virginia Farm Fresh Dairy Act, which allows for the sale and consumption of homemade and farm-fresh raw milk and raw milk products. The bill defines key terms like "raw milk," "raw milk products," and "informed end consumer." It exempts raw milk and raw milk products from certain licensing and permitting requirements, while empowering the West Virginia Department of Agriculture to register and inspect participating farms for compliance with the act. The bill outlines best practices for sanitary milking and milk handling, as well as registration and permitting requirements for producers. It also establishes a system of inspections, violations, and penalties to ensure compliance. The bill sets limits on the daily sales of raw milk and raw milk products, and requires specific labeling and consumer education. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
