Requires Department of Agriculture to conduct inspections of on-farm dairy processing activities.
This bill transfers responsibility for inspecting on-farm dairy processing operations from the Department of Health to the Department of Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture must collaborate with the Department of Health and local health boards to conduct these inspections. This change directly affects dairy farmers who process milk on their farms, shifting oversight from health-focused to agricultural authorities. The bill requires no new funding or operational changes beyond the departmental transfer.
