HB 768
AN ACT relating to small farms and home-based processors.
In Plain Language
This bill exempts small farms and home-based food processors from state and local licensing, certification, and regulatory requirements that aren't required by federal law. It defines what counts as a small farm and repeals an existing regulation about home-based food processors. This means small farms and home-based processors would have fewer state and local rules to follow when operating their businesses.
Official summary
Create a new section of KRS 217.015 to 217.215 to define "small farms"; exempt small farms and home-based processors from any state and any city, county, urban-county government, consolidated local government, unified local government, or charter county government and any health department thereof from any rule, administrative regulation, certification, or licensing requirement that is not required by federal law; Repeal KRS 217.136, relating to home-based food processors.
