LC 1006 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Provide for regulation and sale of aquaculture

This bill amends Montana state laws to explicitly include aquaculture products in exemptions from certain food sales regulations, allowing them to be sold by count rather than strictly by weight or measure. It clarifies that aquaculture products, defined under existing law, are exempt from specific labeling, licensure, and inspection requirements that apply to other homemade food products. The legislation also updates definitions related to food sales and maintains existing rules for cottage food operations and small dairies. These changes aim to provide regulatory clarity for producers and consumers while ensuring food safety standards remain in place for other food categories.
