CHEYENNE, WYOMING - The House Agriculture Committee has approved a bill to allow fewer restrictions on farmers who sell raw milk or homemade food products directly to consumers.

The committee passed House Bill 54 on a 6-3 vote Thursday and it now advances to debate on the House floor. The bill would exempt producers from licenses, inspections and certifications when selling directly to consumers.

Advances to the floor for debate, I will update as soon as I learn more.
