Permitting beekeepers who meet certain requirements to sell packaged honey and honeycombs without holding a food establishment or food processing plant license under the Kansas food, drug and cosmetic act.

Summary

HB 2158 creates an exemption for beekeepers who meet a set of conditions—including on‑site packaging, specific labeling, sales under $35,000, and Kansas‑origin hives—from the requirement to hold a food‑establishment or processing‑plant license. The exemption also removes the need for temperature‑controlled facilities. The goal is to lower regulatory costs for small‑scale beekeepers while keeping basic safety standards.
