Bill > HB639

This bill establishes a new section of Kentucky law that defines "end consumer" as someone who buys a food product and does not resell it. It allows poultry processors who are exempt from certain federal regulations (specifically, those under 9 C.F.R. sec. 381.10, which pertains to poultry inspection) to sell their processed poultry directly to these end consumers on their farm, at farmers' markets, or at roadside stands. The bill also mandates that the state secretary will create regulations requiring that poultry sold on a farm be refrigerated and properly labeled, while poultry sold at farmers' markets or roadside stands must be frozen and labeled. Importantly, local government agencies will not be allowed to impose extra certification or inspection requirements on farmers who are following these new state regulations.
