Requires Department of Agriculture to conduct inspections of on-farm dairy processing activities; transfers certain resources and employees from DOH to Department of Agriculture.
This bill (S 4883) transfers responsibility for inspecting on-farm dairy processing operations from the Department of Health (DOH) to the Department of Agriculture. It requires the Department of Agriculture to take over all existing inspections, along with all related records, equipment, and DOH staff who conducted these inspections. Dairy farmers processing milk on their farms will now be inspected by the Department of Agriculture instead of the Department of Health. The bill makes no new regulatory requirements but shifts existing inspection authority and resources between agencies.
