## Summary

**Protect interstate movement of unpasteurized milk and milk products** by blocking federal action under federal food safety laws against interstate shipments that meet four conditions. The bill would allow interstate transport when the product is legal in the State of origin, packaged for final consumption, produced and labeled according to that State's laws, and headed to a State that also permits such distribution. - Families and consumers: More access to raw milk across state lines when both the origin and destination states allow distribution and the product is packaged for direct human consumption and labeled per origin rules. - Farmers and sellers: Producers in permissive states could ship unpasteurized milk and a wide range of dairy products to buyers in other permissive states if they follow origin-state production, packaging, and labeling requirements. Cowshare arrangements count as a qualifying ownership method. - Federal and state authority: Limits federal enforcement under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Public Health Service Act for qualifying shipments while explicitly preserving state laws and regulations.

## Provisions PRIA read
