SB 201 passes key committees with all “yes†votes!

SB 201 - The Fresh Raw Milk Act of 2008 - passed in both the Assembly Agriculture and Assembly Health Committees with 100% support and no opposing votes.

We hope to work closely with CDFA and CDPH to bring SB 201 and its strong food safety requirements into law over the next few months.

Later this summer, all of us will again be needed to continue efforts to lobby members of the Assembly for their support as we move forward to the vote on the floor of the General Assembly and the Senate.

 

A huge thank you to Senator Dean Florez; Josh Walters, Esq. (Florez staff); Assemblywoman Nicole Parra; Assemblyman Tom Berryhill; Walter Robb, President of Wholefoods; Christine Chessen, Co-founder CREMA; Dr. Robert Irons; Dr. Ron Hull; Dr. Ted Beals; Patty Glaviano (raw milk super mom); Sally Fallon, WAP; and Aajonus for their testimony and work to help pass SB 201.

 

And…the greatest thanks go to the thousands of raw milk supporters and callers from all over California, the nation, and the world who passionately urged Assembly members to support SB 201.

The bill is considered by many to be the premier model for how raw should be regulated in the future. If passed it will be the raw milk standard and bench mark.

 

It is not over and it is not law yet…but we are so much closer now than ever.

 

Most kind regards,
