HB3720 even after the amendment continues the pattern of incremental regulatory expansion over small and home-based food producers while framing the bill as βmodernization.β
While the substitute raises the annual sales cap, it simultaneously:
- Expands mandatory, agency-approved training requirements
- Formalizes credentialing and compliance structures
- Strengthens labeling, verification, and enforcement authority
- Preserves agency discretion and fines for noncompliance
This shifts cottage and local food producers further into a centralized regulatory model and regulatory risk for small businesses that operate on thin margins.
The structure of the bill aligns with global βfood system modernizationβ frameworks that prioritize standardized compliance, credentialing, and oversight. Over time, this model disproportionately benefits larger, capital-backed producers while gradually pushing small, family-scale operations out of the market.
Bottom line:
HB3720 embeds permanent regulatory mechanisms that expand government oversight and increase barriers to entry. This bill grows government authority and undermines true food freedom, small-business resilience, and local enterprise.
Great bill, thanks for the amended language!!! This bill increases sales limits from $75,000 to a viable business with One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00).
There is an 8 hour class available online that is required. This is a fair tradeoff for being able to actually make a living with your business, and not egregious at all. I would ammend the bill to specify that the class is FREE, just to make sure it doesn't end up being cost prohibitive. (And, I'm O.K. with that if it means I don't have hair in my food.)
