Bill Summary

CONCERNING EXPANDING THE SCOPE OF THE "COLORADO COTTAGE FOODS ACT", AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Tamale Act," expands the Colorado Cottage Foods Act to allow producers to sell certain foods that require time and temperature control for safety, such as tamales, burritos, and tortas, provided they sell only one type of such food product with up to five variations and adhere to strict food safety guidelines for cooking, cooling, and holding temperatures, as well as safe transportation practices. It also increases the gross revenue cap for cottage food producers from $10,000 to $150,000 annually, with an annual adjustment for inflation, and requires producers selling temperature-controlled foods to have federally inspected meat or meet specific exemptions. The bill establishes a Cottage Foods Cash Fund, funded by transfers from other state funds, and appropriates funds for the cottage foods program, with certain provisions taking effect on January 1, 2027.
