relative to regulatory authority for apples, coal grading, potatoes, cider, milk, and lumber.

This bill grants the New Hampshire Commissioner of Agriculture authority to regulate the production, sale, and marketing of apples, apple cider, and lumber within the state. For apples and cider, it mandates that apple requirements match federal USDA standards and allows the commissioner to create rules ensuring cider labels accurately identify the product's origin, contents, and producer, including specific provisions for unpasteurized cider. Regarding lumber, the legislation establishes a certification system where registered mills must certify or stamp native wood to meet specific structural grades, allowing these local certifications to replace standard stamps in building permits. The bill also provides the commissioner with inspection powers, the ability to issue stop-sale orders for non-compliant products, and sets administrative fines of up to $1,000 for violations.
