Bill > HB0101

This bill proposes to repeal the Unfair Milk Sales Act in Tennessee by completely removing Title 53, Chapter 3, Part 2 from the Tennessee Code Annotated. The primary effect of this legislation is to eliminate the current legal prohibition against selling milk below its cost, which previously restricted how milk could be priced and sold in the state. By deleting this entire part of the code, the bill would effectively deregulate milk sales pricing, allowing retailers and producers more flexibility in setting milk prices. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, which emphasizes that the public welfare supports this change. This suggests that the existing regulations were seen as potentially hindering market dynamics or creating unnecessary restrictions for milk sellers in Tennessee.
