An Act to promote free tastings of homemade products at farmer's markets
HD 2520 allows vendors selling homemade food at public farmers' markets and farm stands in the Commonwealth to offer free taste samples without legal liability. This directly affects small-scale food producers and farmers' market vendors. The bill specifically exempts these tastings from standard health code requirements, such as needing sinks or heating equipment, for the purpose of sampling. The key change removes a barrier for vendors to share samples of their homemade products.
