Relating to egg grading.
SB 1805 would amend Section 132.002, Agriculture Code, to allow for the sale of eggs produced by a person's own flock if the eggs are labeled "ungraded." Additionally, the bill would require the Texas Department of Agriculture to allow persons who remit less than $360 in special fees on eggs for the year to remit those fees annually rather than monthly.
Texas Action supports SB 1805 because it adheres to the principle of free markets. Whenever the state removes burdens for small producers, these producers have a greater ability to operate and sell their wares to prospective customers.
