Bill Summary

An Act relating to agriculture; amending 2 O.S. 2021, Section 7-414, which relates to the Oklahoma Milk and Milk Products Act; excluding donkey milk from provisions of act; removing exempted provision; updating statutory language; and providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Oklahoma Milk and Milk Products Act to specifically include donkey milk alongside goat milk in existing provisions that provide exemptions for small-scale direct sales. Currently, the law allows incidental sales of raw milk directly to consumers at the farm where it is produced, and this bill adds donkey milk to those provisions. The bill defines "incidental sales" as monthly sales not exceeding 100 gallons, and it removes a previous clause about cheese production on farms. By explicitly mentioning donkey milk, the legislation clarifies that small producers of donkey milk will be treated similarly to small goat milk producers under state agricultural regulations. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, providing advance notice to farmers and regulators about the change in milk product categorization.
