Exempts slaughter and preparation of animals at custom slaughter facilities from federal inspection if conducted for in-state distribution.
The PRIME Act amends the Federal Meat Inspection Act to exempt from federal inspection the slaughter of animals and the preparation of carcasses at custom slaughter facilities. This exemption applies if the slaughter and preparation are conducted in accordance with state law, and the meat is exclusively for distribution within the state, such as to household consumers or local establishments like restaurants and grocery stores. The bill ensures that state laws governing these activities are not preempted by federal regulations.
