Local food vendors lose direct purchase path

The law repeals the rule that let agencies buy Montana-produced food by direct purchase. That option only applied when quality matched, supply was enough, and the price matched the lowest bid or fit the budget. The department’s authority to run that exception and the related definitions of “food” and “produced” are also removed. Local food sellers lose a sales channel to state and local buyers.
