Memorandum
In its current form, HB2458 conflicts with federal and state regulations governing food production and safety, including the recently-introduced SB27 for micro-processor permitting. Exemptions to food production regulation increase the potential for food-borne illness outbreaks which would endanger public health, negatively affect the livelihood of food producers, and put regulatory officials in a reactive instead of proactive position regarding food and consumer safety.
