Bill > HR7880

This bill, titled the "Interstate Milk Freedom Act of 2026," aims to prevent federal agencies and courts from interfering with the interstate sale of unpasteurized milk and milk products intended for direct human consumption. Specifically, it prohibits federal actions that would restrict such sales if the milk or milk product is from a state that permits the distribution of unpasteurized milk for direct human consumption, is produced and packaged according to that state's laws, and is being transported to another state that also allows such distribution. The bill clarifies that "unpasteurized" means not having undergone the process of heating milk to specific temperatures and holding it for a set time to kill bacteria, and defines terms like "cowshare," which is a contractual arrangement where a consumer buys an interest in a milk-producing animal and pays for its care in exchange for a share of the milk. Importantly, this act does not override any state laws.
