Dairy Law Change Aims to Shift Milk Oversight in Kansas
A proposed House Bill 372 would move milk production processing and distribution under the State Board of Agriculture with the state dairy inspector as the enforcement officer, transferring inspection from the State Board of Health. A hearing prompted plans for a joint Health and Agriculture Board talk, with Dr. Thomas R. Hood supporting a conference. Mrs. Mary Wortham urged public health trustees to rely on medical experts for public health matters while backing the bill’s framework. Financing would come from a one half cent per hundred pounds of fluid milk and related charges on purchases by public dairies and processors, to fund enforcement and administration.
