Utah House adopts substitute restricting cow-share programs while removing transportation from raw-milk bill
Summary
After extended floor debate about public-health risks and consumer choice, the Utah House substituted and amended H.B. 69 to prohibit cow-share arrangements and left transportation of raw milk out of the bill; the substitute passed on a recorded vote.
The Utah House of Representatives on the floor substituted and amended H.B. 69, the Utah Dairy Act amendments, narrowing the bill—s reach on raw milk sales and explicitly prohibiting "cow-share" arrangements.
Representative Bradley Johnson, sponsor of the bill, told colleagues the measure would allow dairy owners to deliver raw milk to a store they own and clarify Department of Agriculture and Food authority to charge fees to administer the program. Johnson said the change would permit a dairy owner to transport and sell raw milk at a store the owner operates but emphasized safeguards for safe handling during transport.
