Raw Milk Bill is Signed

After vetoing a similar bill last year, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has signed a proposal letting West Virginians drink raw milk through animal-sharing agreements. Tomblin signed the bill that would let people strike agreements to share milk-producing animals and drink raw milk. It would maintain a ban on selling or distributing raw milk. People would have to sign a document acknowledging the health risks. Animals would need to have passed health tests within the last year. It becomes effective in late May.
