What’s in it
BACKGROUND. This bill amends the “Meat and Poultry Inspection Act” (Iowa Act), which is administered and enforced by the department of agriculture and land stewardship (DALS) and which regulates a business engaged in the slaughter of livestock or poultry, the processing of the livestock or poultry, and the preparation of meat products or poultry products derived from those slaughtered animals. The meat or poultry product is generically referred to as an “article”. chapter 10).3(3)). BILL’S PROVISIONS.
Read the full explanation
The bill creates a personal use exception to the inspection and licensing provisions in the Iowa Act for livestock and poultry based on two such exemptions in the federal Acts. _____ raising the livestock, a member of the owner’s household, or a nonpaying guest or employee. Under the federal Poultry Products Inspection Act, similar requirements apply. The owner or producer of poultry must slaughter and process the poultry; the poultry must be healthy when slaughtered and processed; the poultry must be slaughtered and processed under sanitary conditions; the poultry product derived from the slaughtered poultry must be for their private use, or the private use of a member of their household or a nonpaying guest or employee; the poultry product cannot be sold or donated; and any shipping containing an article must include information about the producer. The bill eliminates a provision that grants DALS authority to adopt rules providing the same personal use exception.
