Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill SB 2408 raises the annual gross sales limit for cottage food operations from $20,000 to $35,000. This change allows these small food businesses to earn more while still operating under less stringent regulations. The bill also retains labeling requirements for products but clarifies some wording to ensure consumers are informed about the nature of the cottage food operation. This change matters because it supports small businesses by giving them more flexibility in their earnings while still prioritizing consumer safety.
