Bill > HB3720

This bill, titled the "Local Food Freedom Act," renames and modifies existing laws concerning the sale of homemade food products. Key changes include expanding the definition of a "local food establishment" to include any location, not just a residence, and increasing the gross annual sales limit for such businesses from $75,000 to $250,000. The bill also clarifies that "local food products" can be sold and delivered by producers or third-party vendors, and that producers of time- or temperature-controlled foods must complete approved food safety training. Additionally, it mandates specific labeling requirements for local food products, including allergen information and a disclosure that the product was made in a facility exempt from government licensing and inspection, and requires producers to comply with local zoning and building codes. The act also specifies that violations are punishable by a fine not exceeding $300 and will become effective on November 1, 2026.
