Bill overview
The PRIME Act amends the Federal Meat Inspection Act to allow for custom slaughtering of animals without federal inspection, provided certain conditions are met. Specifically, meat must be slaughtered and prepared at a facility compliant with state laws and intended for direct sale to consumers within that state or to businesses within the state that serve consumers. This bill aims to support local meat producers and reduce regulatory burdens, while ensuring that meat sold to consumers meets state standards.
