HB 101 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Milk, Dairy Products - As introduced, repeals the Unfair Milk Sales Act; removes the prohibition against selling milk below cost. - Amends TCA Title 53, Chapter 3, Part 2.

HB 101 repeals Tennessee's Unfair Milk Sales Act, which currently prohibits selling milk below cost. This bill removes a specific pricing restriction, allowing dairy producers, processors, and retailers to set milk prices without legal limits on selling below production costs. The change directly affects the state's dairy industry by eliminating an existing state law (TCA Title 53, Chapter 3, Part 2) that governed milk sales pricing. The bill does not introduce new rules but deletes a longstanding prohibition from state code.
