Dive Summary:
- Raw milk legislation is being debated in many states right now, however it is having quite a rough time getting passed or even voted on.
- Recently, the bill in Wyoming has basically defaulted as no decision was reached. The bills in Mississippi and New Mexico seem to be destined for the same fate.
- There are still a number of states with promising legislation, however if the trend holds true, legislators seem not to have enough time for raw milk.
From the article:
Sponsored by State Sen. Pat Woods, R-Broadview, the bill to ban raw milk sales in New Mexico is assigned to both the Conservation and Judiciary committees. New Mexico’s lawmakers adjourn March 16, so bill-killing deadlines are approaching in Santa Fe.
Other bills, mostly to loosen restrictions on raw milk sales, are alive in Hawaii, Iowa, Indiana, Oklahoma and Texas, but none of them appear to have gained much legislative ground since Food Safety News last checked on their status.
