Department of Agriculture rule relating to exempted dairy farms and milk and milk products processing

SB 319 authorizes West Virginia's Department of Agriculture to implement a specific regulatory rule concerning exempted dairy farms and milk/milk product processing. The bill formally approves a rule previously modified and refiled by the Department (61 CSR 40), which was initially filed in March 2025. This legislation does not change the rule's content but legally enables the Department to enforce it as part of its regulatory authority. The rule directly affects dairy farms qualifying as "exempted" under the regulation and businesses processing milk or milk products. The bill serves a procedural purpose to finalize the rule's legal standing.
