Bill > SB229

This bill allows retailers in New Hampshire to purchase and sell uninspected bison, elk, and red deer meat under specific conditions. Retailers must keep detailed purchase records for at least 90 days, including information about the product, purchase date, producer name, farm address, and phone number. Additionally, retailers are required to clearly label these products with a statement indicating that the meat was slaughtered at the farm and is exempt from state and federal inspection. The bill also modifies a previous legislative action by removing a prospective repeal that was set to take effect on July 1, 2025, effectively allowing the continued sale of uninspected meat from these animal species. The act is scheduled to take effect on June 30, 2025, and according to the fiscal note, it is not expected to have any financial impact on the state's Department of Health and Human Services.
