New Markets for State-Inspected Meat and Poultry Act of 2025
Sponsor: Sen. Rounds, Mike (R-SD)9 cosponsorsIntroduced Apr 10, 2025
✆
In plain English
Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) sponsored this bill to allow meat and poultry products inspected by state inspection programs to be sold across state lines, rather than limiting them to sales within a single state. Currently, states can inspect meat and poultry under federal standards, but those products can only be sold within that state unless the state joins a separate federal program. The bill expands the market for state-inspected meat and poultry products by permitting interstate commerce of these items.
