Bill > HB348

This bill allows certain poultry processors who are exempt from federal inspection requirements by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to sell their poultry directly to "end consumers," meaning individuals who buy the product for their own use and not for resale. Specifically, it permits the slaughtering and processing of poultry on a farm for sales at that farm, at farmers markets, or at roadside stands, provided these sales meet specific conditions outlined in federal regulations (9 C.F.R. sec. 381.10). Poultry sold on a farm must be refrigerated and labeled according to these federal rules, while poultry sold at farmers markets or roadside stands must be frozen and similarly labeled. The bill also prevents local government agencies from imposing extra certification or inspection requirements on farmers who comply with these new regulations.
