HB1515 allows farmers to sell raw milk directly to the consumer.
The North Dakota State Senate passed HB1515 on April 20, 2023 by a vote of 32 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the prohibition on the sale of raw milk is in violation of the First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. These bans violate the principles of the free market, as the government should not interfere in commerce.
