Bill > SB2028

This bill amends the Oklahoma Milk and Milk Products Act to allow for the sale of certain raw milk products, which are milk and milk products that have not been pasteurized (heated to kill bacteria). Specifically, it permits the sale of "ungraded" raw milk and raw milk products directly to consumers at the farm where they are produced, provided consumers are notified that the product is not licensed, regulated, or inspected and the container is labeled to indicate it is raw or unpasteurized and includes the date it was filled. The bill also increases the limit for incidental sales of raw milk and raw milk products directly to consumers at the farm from 100 gallons per month to 1,500 gallons per month, and allows for the advertising of these sales. Additionally, it clarifies that the Act does not prevent farmers from making cheese using milk or cream produced on their own farms. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
