An Act Prohibiting Certain Confinement of Egg-laying Hens and the Sale of Their Eggs
 
This bill provides that, after December 31, 2024:
 
1. Farm owners and operators in the State must keep their egg-laying hens in cage free housing systems; and
 
2. Business owners and operators may not sell in the State eggs from hens that are not kept in cage-free housing systems.
