HB 315 (Bee Keeping Amendments)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

This bill would prohibit beekeepers from owning and managing bees if a commercial beekeeper is within two miles of their property. Violation of the law would potentially be a class B misdemeanor and $1,000 violation every single day.

Libertas Institute opposes this bill. It is nothing more than protectionism for beekeepers using the force of law to punish competitors and prevent hobbyists from growing into commercial operations.
