MO HB866

Missouri residents granted the right to buy and sell farm-direct goods (products produced on Missouri farms) directly between producers and consumers without state or local regulation

Sellers may choose whether their farm-direct goods are subject to government regulation; if opting out, they must notify buyers via sign, package label, or verbal declaration at time of sale

Buyers assume responsibility for ensuring the production process of unregulated farm-direct goods meets their personal standards

State government, political subdivisions, and regulatory agencies prohibited from interfering with or regulating farm-direct sales that sellers have opted out of regulation

Civil and criminal liability preserved for intentional acts or gross negligence by sellers or buyers that violate state laws
