Committee approves measure to extend milk tester certification to two years
Summary
House Bill 1006, approved by the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee, would extend certified milk tester and sampler certification periods from one year to two years and remove outdated fee references, aligning the statute with existing regulatory fees.
The Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee approved House Bill 1006, which would amend the milk-marketing law to extend the certified milk tester and sampler certification period from one year to two years and to remove outdated references to examination and certification fees now set by regulation.
Representative Kerwin, the bill sponsor, said the bill "simply amends the milk marketing law by increasing the milk tester and sampler certification period from 1 to 2 years," and noted that the measure previously passed the House floor and committee unanimously in prior sessions. Destiny, the committee staff member, summarized that the changes replace references to fees with references to regulation-set fees administered by the milk board.
The chair called for negative votes; none were recorded in the transcript and he announced that House Bill 1006 passes the committee by voice vote. The transcript does not record individual roll-call tallies.
