Bill > S2001

This bill, known as the Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption Act or the PRIME Act, amends the Federal Meat Inspection Act to exempt from inspection the slaughter of animals and the preparation of carcasses conducted at a custom slaughter facility, provided that the slaughtering and preparation are carried out in accordance with the law of the state where the custom slaughter facility is located and the meat and meat products are distributed exclusively within that state to individual consumers, restaurants, hotels, grocery stores, and other establishments involved in the preparation and sale of meals. The bill also specifies that it does not preempt any state law relating to the slaughter of animals, preparation of meat, or the sale of meat and meat products.
