MILK TESTING – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding milk and cream testing methods.

This bill updates Idaho's milk and cream testing regulations. It requires all milk and cream sold in Idaho to be tested using methods approved by the Idaho Department of Agriculture, affecting dairy farmers, processors, and buyers. Key changes include mandating samples be taken by authorized haulers with accurate temperature control (33-45°F), kept in tamper-proof containers, and allowing the Department to audit payments for compliance. The bill also clarifies definitions of "Department" and "Director" in administrative rules. It takes effect July 1, 2026.
