March 12: "As currently drafted, a farmer selling raw milk is exempt from any civil liability. In short, if someone gets sick from raw milk, the bill would prohibit the individual from filing a civil suit against the farmer selling the product.

If there is a desire to open up new milk markets, and give people more freedom in what kinds of foods they eat, there must also be assurances that if someone gets sick, the producer of the milk should be held responsible for selling an inferior product. This is standard in virtually every other aspect of the dairy industry, and sellers of raw milk should be held to this same standard."
