Bill overview
The PRIME Act aims to allow more states to handle the slaughter and processing of livestock without federal inspection, as long as certain conditions are met. Specifically, it expands the current exemption to include meat prepared at custom slaughter facilities within a state and sold directly to consumers or businesses within that same state. This change is intended to support local meat producers and reduce regulatory burdens. The bill does not override any existing state laws related to animal slaughter or meat sales.
