Tpdf Text

Maine LD311 mandates state inspectors for meat and poultry processing facilities be designated as essential.

Maine LD311 requires the Commissioner of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry to designate state inspectors as essential for meat and poultry processing facilities. This ensures inspections continue on state holidays or beyond regular work hours if inspectors are available, with the facility covering all overtime costs. The bill also mandates inspections to maintain plant operations. This legislation aims to protect public health and economic welfare by ensuring continuous inspection services.
