Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to public health and safety; prohibiting the manufacture, sale and distribution of cultivated meat for human consumption; providing definitions; providing penalties; and providing for effective dates.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits the manufacture, sale, and distribution of "cultivated meat" for human consumption in Wyoming, defining cultivated meat as meat grown in a laboratory from cultured animal cells, which are cells collected from an animal and grown to create this type of meat. The bill amends existing laws to include this prohibition under prohibited acts and also allows for the summary suspension of a food establishment license if it is found to be violating this new cultivated meat ban. The Department of Agriculture is tasked with creating the necessary rules to implement this act, which will take effect on July 1, 2026, with the sections concerning rule-making and the act's effective date becoming law immediately upon the bill's passage.
