HB 1162 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Agriculture; Real Access to Whole Milk Act of 2025; permit to sell; milk or milk products; effective date.

HB 1162, the "Real Access to Whole Milk Act of 2025," modifies Oklahoma's milk regulations to allow small-scale direct farm sales of raw milk. It permits farmers to sell up to 500 gallons of raw milk monthly directly to consumers at their farm without a permit, and up to 100 gallons monthly for goat milk. The bill also explicitly allows farmers to make cheese using milk produced on their own farm. These changes amend existing Oklahoma law (Sections 7-413, 7-414, and 7-417) to exclude incidental farm sales from standard permit requirements. The law takes effect November 1, 2025.
