An Act amending the act of April 28, 1937 (P.L.417, No.105), known as the Milk Marketing Law, in weighing and testing, further providing for certified testers and for certified weighers and samplers.
HB 1006 updates Pennsylvania's Milk Marketing Law to strengthen certification requirements for professionals testing, weighing, and sampling milk. It requires milk dealers to use only board-certified testers for butterfat analysis and certified weighers/samplers for milk pickup, with new applicants needing to pass exams and pay $5 fees. Certified testers must maintain test records for two years and display their certificates visibly at workplaces. The bill directly affects milk dealers, producers, and testing personnel by mandating standardized, verified measurement practices under the Milk Marketing Board.
