HB 1083 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

AN ACT to amend and reenact subsection 20 of section 4.1-25-01 and sections 4.1-25-30, 4.1-25-31, 4.1-25-32, and 4.1-25-33 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the definition of pasteurized milk ordinance and the federal pasteurized milk ordinance revision.

This bill amends specific sections of North Dakota's milk regulations to update definitions related to pasteurized milk under the state and federal pasteurized milk ordinances. The bill's abstract does not describe concrete policy changes, mechanisms, or who is affected beyond referencing code sections. As provided, the context lacks sufficient detail to explain the specific revisions or their practical impact on dairy producers, regulators, or consumers. Since the abstract only states the bill's procedural nature (amending definitions) without describing the actual changes, a substantive summary cannot be generated from the available information.
