Bill > SB273

This bill legalizes the sale and distribution of raw milk and products derived from raw milk by dairy producers directly to consumers for human consumption in Delaware. The bill establishes a raw milk permit system, labeling requirements, and regulatory oversight by the Department of Agriculture to ensure product safety. The bill also removes unused definitions of "Delaware fresh milk" and "northeastern fresh milk" from existing law, while retaining the definition of "fresh milk." The bill is to be implemented either one year from the date of enactment or upon the Department of Agriculture publishing notice that final regulations have been adopted to implement the Act, whichever occurs earlier. The bill may be cited as the "The Consumer Choice Milk Act."
