Bill > HB1162

This bill, known as the Real Access to Whole Milk Act of 2025, amends the Oklahoma Milk and Milk Products Act to modify regulations surrounding milk production, distribution, and sales. The legislation updates existing law to clarify that selling milk requires an appropriate permit, and specifically defines "incidental sales" of raw milk as those where farmers sell up to 500 gallons per month directly to consumers at their farm. The bill expands prohibited actions to include selling milk without a valid permit, and requires that anyone producing, hauling, processing, distributing, or selling ungraded raw milk must obtain the appropriate permit for their specific premises or facilities. The changes also maintain previous provisions allowing farmers to produce cheese using milk from their own farm and allowing incidental sales of goat milk (limited to 100 gallons per month). The bill aims to provide more structured oversight of milk sales while maintaining some flexibility for small-scale agricultural producers, and is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
