HB 3720, signed 5/5/2026 and effective 11/1/2026, renames the act, raises the cap to $250,000, lets a local food establishment operate at any location except a restaurant (not only a residence), and edits the label wording to refer to a facility rather than a residence. Check the final codified text after 11/1/2026. HB 2152 (2025, $150k cap) stalled in committee. Round 2 (2026-10-24): the enrolled HB 3720 PDF was read, with struck and underlined text told apart by the rule lines in the PDF. Confirmed: 'Homemade' becomes 'Local' throughout. The establishment may be at any location, including a residence but not a restaurant. The cap is 'less than' $250,000 in gross annual sales of prepared food, counting sales at any location. In the label and placard wording, 'a private residence' becomes 'a facility'. TCS training now applies to 'any person producing the local food', not only the producer. Effective November 1, 2026 (section 7). The House bill summary confirms the Senate amendment set $250,000 (down from a proposed $1.5 million). These values are stored as a pending change that applies automatically on 2026-11-01.
