North Dakota State Representative Dawson Holle has introduced legislation to update the state century code’s definition of milk. Currently, milk is defined as coming from a cow, but Holle says it’s important to include other mammals as well. “Goat farmers weren’t being included, and I wanted to update the definition to current national standards.” Plant-based beverages are currently not considered milk in the state code. Holle has also introduced House Bill 1515 that would allow the sale of raw milk in North Dakota mirroring South Dakota legislation. That bill has not yet been scheduled for committee hearing.
