Bill Summary
Amending the act of July 2, 1935 (P.L.589, No.210), entitled "An act to safeguard human health and life by providing for the issuance of permits to, and regulation of persons and entities selling milk and milk products; conferring powers, and imposing duties on the Secretary of Agriculture; and otherwise providing for the administration of the act; and imposing penalties," prohibiting the sale of human milk over the Internet.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Milk Sanitation Law in Pennsylvania to prohibit the sale of human milk over the Internet, specifically banning individuals from selling or offering to sell human milk directly to another person or through a classified advertisement. The bill aims to regulate the distribution of human milk, which could be motivated by concerns about the safety, quality, and potential risks associated with unregulated online milk sales. By adding a new section (Section 18.1) to the existing law, the legislation creates a legal restriction on internet-based human milk transactions. The bill will go into effect 90 days after its passage, giving time for individuals and businesses to become aware of and comply with the new regulation.
