Bill Summary

An Act to prohibit the manufacture, sale, and distribution of any product containing cell-cultured protein, and to provide a penalty therefor.

AI Summary

This bill, titled "Prohibit the manufacture, sale, and distribution of any product containing cell-cultured protein, and to provide a penalty therefor," aims to ban the sale, distribution, and manufacturing of products containing "cell-cultured protein," which is defined as food produced from animal cells or DNA grown outside a live animal, excluding products made through microbial fermentation or for pharmaceutical purposes. The bill proposes to amend existing laws to add a new section that prohibits the sale, holding, offering for sale, or distribution of such products in South Dakota from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2036, with violations being a Class 2 misdemeanor, and allows for inspections and stop-sale orders by the department. Additionally, it introduces a prohibition on manufacturing cell-cultured protein products for sale in the state during the same period, also punishable as a Class 2 misdemeanor, and allows for the seizure and condemnation of such products and the suspension or revocation of meat processing licenses.
