Bill > SF0120

This bill, known as the Wyoming PRIME Act, aims to allow producers to sell meat products directly to consumers under specific conditions, but only after receiving federal approval. The bill defines a "custom slaughter facility" as a slaughterhouse without state or federal inspectors present, and creates an exemption to existing food safety regulations that would permit producers to sell uninspected meat from cattle, sheep, swine, or goats raised and slaughtered entirely within Wyoming. To sell these meat products, producers must sell directly to an informed end consumer in Wyoming, provide a prominent written warning that the meat is uninspected and cannot be resold or redistributed, and disclose their animal health and processing standards. The bill will only become effective once the governor certifies that such sales are legalized under federal law, which could happen through either a new federal law allowing direct-to-consumer sales of uninspected meat or a federal court decision declaring existing prohibitions unconstitutional. Until such certification, the provisions remain dormant, with a default effective date of July 1, 2025, and the Department of Agriculture is authorized to create implementing rules upon gubernatorial certification.
