SB2125

Freedom Reins

I support SB 2125 because it expands freedom for small farmers and consumers by allowing the direct sale and advertising of ungraded raw milk and raw milk products. To keep that intent intact while avoiding confusion or misuse, a few clarifications are needed around third-party sales, labeling consistency, the emergency clause, and the definition of “incidental sales”. These changes strengthen the bill without changing its purpose. 1) Clear Limits on Third-Party Sales Example: If raw milk is sold at a farmers market or through a third party, the consumer should be able to clearly identify the original farm that produced it, and the producer should remain responsible for how it is handled and represented. Why: Without clear limits, third-party sales could blur responsibility and create enforcement confusion if something goes wrong. 2) Consistent, Plain-Language Labeling Example: Every container sold should clearly state that the product is raw or unpasteurized, list the date it was filled, and plainly disclose that it is not inspected or regulated. Why: Clear and consistent labels ensure consumers understand what they are buying and reduce the risk of disputes or claims of deception. 3) Narrow the Emergency Clause Example: The bill could take effect on a standard timeline rather than immediately, unless a clear and specific public safety need is identified. Why: Using emergency clauses when there is no immediate threat can set an unnecessary precedent and weaken public trust. 4) Clear Definition of “Incidental Sales” Example: Incidental sales should be clearly understood as small-scale sales connected to what a farm actually produces each month, not ongoing or high-volume distribution that looks like a commercial operation. Why: Without a clear meaning, the exemption could be stretched beyond its intent and used as a loophole by large or industrial-style sellers. Who These Amendments Protect These amendments protect small farmers by reducing the risk of unfair enforcement, protect consumers by ensuring transparency and informed choice, and protect the state by preventing regulatory creep or confusion as the market grows. The result is a clearer, fairer system that honors the bill’s intent while guarding against abuse.

Save Oklahoma Farms And Ranches

This bill is THE BEST raw milk bill this session! -Great: Allows all raw milk to be advertised -Great: Allows raw milk to be transported off farm -Great: Allows 1500 gallons of raw milk to be sold per month** (This bill increases raw milk sales from 100 gallons a month to 1500 gallons a month, however, there should be NO limits on sales of raw milk, this restricts farms from making a decent living and limits their ability to be competitive, and appears to be unconstitional favoring of certain industries over small business....see below.) -Great: removes ALL raw milk producers from the egregious Oklahoma Milk Products Act!!! (To be even better, get with Rep Hardin and amend to add language allowing off farm sale to restaurants, feed stores, and farmers markets.) ***HR 8374 "The Interstate Milk Freedom Act" proposed in Congress will allow the interstate sale of raw milk. When it is enacted, the state of Oklahoma will be putting raw milk farms at a disadvantage in the USA by limiting their sales of raw milk per month and prohitibing them from their constitutional right to freedom of speech (advertising their legal product) under current regulations of the Oklahoma Milk Products Act.
