TL;DR Summary

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has signed a bill legalizing the sale of home-made tamales and other cottage food products, after vetoing a similar bill last year. The legislation, which will take effect 90 days after the end of the legislative session, includes labeling requirements and a definition of a "home kitchen" to prevent commercial loopholes. The bill aims to expand the list of allowable cottage foods and includes safeguards such as food handling classes and registration with the Arizona Department of Health Services. The governor's previous veto and comments had sparked controversy and anger among lawmakers, particularly from the Hispanic community, but the revised bill has now gained her approval.
