Bill > HB3720

This bill, renamed the Local Food Freedom Act, modifies existing laws concerning the production and sale of food made in non-traditional commercial kitchens, often referred to as "homemade" food. Key changes include expanding the definition of a "local food establishment" to include any location, even a residence, and significantly increasing the gross annual sales limit for such businesses from $75,000 to $1.5 million, while excluding restaurants. The bill also clarifies that "local food products" can be sold directly by the producer or through third-party vendors like farmers markets, with specific labeling requirements to inform consumers about the origin and potential allergens. For food that requires temperature control for safety, producers must complete approved food safety training. The bill also specifies that local food products cannot contain seafood, meat, or poultry products as defined by federal law, and producers must comply with local zoning and building codes. The act will become effective on November 1, 2026.
