A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT to increase small farm profitability by increasing the exemption for sales of ungraded eggs, as recommended by the House select committee on agricultural regulations.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  G.S. 106‑245.15 reads as rewritten:

"§ 106‑245.15.  Designation of grade and class on containers required; conformity with designation; exemption.

No person shall market to consumers, institutional consumers or retailers or expose for that purpose any eggs unless there is clearly designated therewith on the container the grade and size or weight class established in accordance with the provisions of  this Article and such eggs shall conform to the designated grade and size or weight class (except when sold on contract to a United States governmental agency); provided, however, a producer marketing eggs of his own production shall be exempt from this section when such marketing occurs on the premises where the eggs are produced, processed, or when ungraded sales do not exceed 30 150 dozen per week."

SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
