AI Summary
This bill, the Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption Act (PRIME Act), amends the Federal Meat Inspection Act to exempt the slaughter of animals and preparation of carcasses conducted at a custom slaughter facility from federal inspection requirements, as long as the slaughter and preparation are carried out in accordance with the law of the state where the facility is located and the resulting meat products are distributed solely within that state to households, restaurants, hotels, grocery stores, and other establishments involved in serving or selling meat directly to consumers.
