AI Summary
This bill establishes a $10 million grant program administered by the State Department of Agriculture to support meat processing establishments in Oregon. The grant program, which will run until January 2, 2028, aims to fund upgrades, new construction, and expansion of state and federal meat processing facilities, with a preference for establishments that process animals raised in Oregon. The department will develop criteria for awarding grants and may require recipients to report on how they use the funds. Grants can cover costs such as technical assistance and equipment purchases. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect on July 1, 2025, with the goal of supporting local meat processing infrastructure and potentially improving the state's agricultural supply chain. The program is specifically designed to help establishments operating under state inspection (as defined in ORS 619.042) and federal inspection facilities that want to increase processing of Oregon-raised animals.
