Bill > SB2652

This bill establishes a voluntary program to promote meat and byproducts from livestock raised in Tennessee, defining "livestock" as animals born, raised, and harvested within the state for human consumption, including cattle, sheep, swine, goats, and poultry. The department will create rules, following the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, to implement this program, which may include developing various labels to indicate that meat or byproducts are from Tennessee, ensuring these labels comply with the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service requirements, and utilizing existing staff and resources for administration.
