PASTEURIZED MILK ORDINANCE S.B. 477:
SUMMARY AS PASSED BY THE SENATE
Senate Bill 477 (as passed by the Senate)
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Grade A Milk Law to refer to the 2013, rather than the 2007, edition of the Grade "A" Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO).
The Law defines "pasteurized milk ordinance" or "PMO" as the 2007 edition of the Grade "A" Pasteurized Milk Ordinance, recommendations of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service/Food and Drug Administration, with administrative procedures and appendices, set forth in the Public Health Service/Food and Drug Administration publication no. 229. The bill would refer to the 2013, rather than the 2007, edition of the PMO.
(The PMO specifies minimum standards and requirements for Grade "A" milk production.)
The Law adopts the PMO and incorporates it by reference, except as otherwise provided; requires applicants for a license or permit to meet the requirements of the PMO; allows administrative and criminal penalties for a violation of the PMO; requires all milk and milk products to be pasteurized according to the requirements of the PMO; and contains other requirements for compliance with the PMO.
The bill would take effect 90 days after its enactment.
