Food: milk; sale of raw milk and raw milk products under the manufacturing milk law of 2001; allow. Amends secs. 111 & 136 of 2001 PA 267 (MCL 288.671 & 288.696) & adds sec. 70a. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5217'25, HB 5219'25
This bill amends Michigan's 2001 Manufacturing Milk Law to explicitly permit the sale of raw milk and raw milk products under the existing regulatory framework. It directly affects dairy producers and sellers who currently cannot legally sell these items under the law's current restrictions. The key change adds new Section 70a and revises Sections 111 and 136 to allow such sales while maintaining the law's overall structure. The bill updates the legal language to align with current market practices without creating new safety standards or requirements.
