DES MOINES, IA – Following the Senate passage of legislation (SF 315) to legalize raw milk sales in the state, Americans for Prosperity-Iowa (AFP-IA) Deputy State Director Tyler J. Raygor released the following statement:

“The passage of SF 315 is a victory for families and agriculture across our great state and reaffirms that the government has no right to dictate what Iowans choose to drink,” said Raygor. “With this legislation, Iowans will have the freedom to choose what to feed their family while enabling innovation in the fresh milk industry.”

“More than 100 lawmakers from across the aisle came together to get this bill across the finish line. We want to thank Senate leadership for their support over the years and specifically Sen. Jason Schultz, who has tirelessly worked on this issue for more than a decade. AFP-IA also thanks the work of House leadership, including Majority Leader Matt Windschitl, Rep. Steven Holt and Rep. Bobby Kaufmann for their outsized role in getting this legislation passed in the House.”

“We look forward to Governor Reynolds’ swift action to sign this bill into law.”
