Bill overview
This bill, the DIRECT Act, would allow states with approved meat and poultry inspection programs to sell their products online and ship them directly to consumers across state lines. Currently, these state-inspected products are limited to sales within the state where they were inspected. The bill amends existing federal laws to specifically permit this interstate internet sales of meat and poultry, provided it meets certain requirements regarding retail quantities and direct shipment to households. This change aims to expand market access for state-inspected products and potentially benefit both producers and consumers.
