Bill Summary
Create a new section of KRS 217.015 to 217.215 to define "small farms"; exempt small farms and home-based processors from any state and any city, county, urban-county government, consolidated local government, unified local government, or charter county government and any health department thereof from any rule, administrative regulation, certification, or licensing requirement that is not required by federal law; repeal KRS 217.136, relating to home-based food processors.
AI Summary
This bill defines a "small farm" as land used for growing crops or raising livestock, from which food products are prepared or sold, and which generates no more than $1.5 million in gross sales annually from livestock products, crops, or food product sales. It then exempts these small farms and home-based processors, which are individuals preparing food products in their homes, from any state or local government rules, regulations, certifications, or licensing requirements that are not mandated by federal law, and it repeals a previous law related to home-based food processors.
