Bill overview
This bill, the A-PLUS Act, aims to allow smaller meatpacking businesses to have closer relationships with livestock auction markets. It directs the USDA to revise its regulations to permit certain packers – those with limited slaughter capacity – to own, finance, or manage livestock auction businesses. The bill also requires these auction markets to disclose any ownership or financial connections they have with the packers they work with, promoting transparency in the livestock industry.
