Summary

The Access to Healthy Local Food Act removes state licensing, inspection and other requirements for direct‑to‑consumer sales of local food, as long as producers complete approved food‑safety training, follow labeling requirements, and comply with zoning laws. It also allows homemade food producers to obtain a $15 annual registration number to use on labels instead of personal contact information. Violations can be fined up to $300, and counties may still adopt their own ordinances that do not conflict with the act.
