HB 3280 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Agriculture; Oklahoma Agriculture Act of 2026; effective date.

HB 3280 amends Oklahoma's Homemade Food Freedom Act to clarify rules for home-based food businesses. It defines a "home food establishment" as a residence-based business selling homemade food with annual sales under $75,000 for time-sensitive foods (like cooked meals) or $300,000 for non-perishable items (like baked goods). The bill explicitly excludes alcohol, unpasteurized milk, and cannabis products from coverage. It also clarifies terms like "delivered" (transferred to customers) and defines "time-controlled" foods (requiring temperature control for safety). The changes take effect November 1, 2026, directly affecting Oklahoma home food producers operating below these sales thresholds.

MODERATE

The bill was completely rewritten from scratch by the Policy Committee. The original version created a new standalone law called the Oklahoma Agriculture Act of 2026, while the new version amends existing Oklahoma Statutes Section 5-4.2 to modify the Homemade Food Freedom Act. This changes the legislative approach from creating new law to updating existing regulations.

Scope change

The bill changed from creating a new standalone statute to amending an existing statute (2 O.S. 2021, Section 5-4.2). The scope now focuses specifically on modifying the Homemade Food Freedom Act rather than creating a broad agriculture act.
