AI Summary
This bill, the Expanding Local Meat Processing Act of 2022, directs the Secretary of Agriculture to amend regulations to allow certain smaller meat packers (those with daily slaughter capacities of less than 2,000 cattle or sheep, or 10,000 hogs, or annual slaughter capacities of less than 700,000 cattle or sheep, or 3,000,000 hogs) to have an interest in market agencies, which were previously prohibited under existing regulations.
