Introduced in House on Mar 5, 2026
Bill Intelligence
The "American Meat Freedom Act" aims to allow small and mid-sized ranchers and meat producers operating under state inspection programs to access interstate markets. The bill seeks to expand market access for these producers, increase competition in meat processing, strengthen domestic food supply resilience, and maintain food safety standards equivalent to federal inspection. The act proposes amendments to the Federal Meat Inspection Act, allowing interstate shipment of meat and meat food products inspected under qualifying state programs, contingent upon compliance with specific requirements. The Secretary of Agriculture is tasked with promulgating regulations to implement these amendments within 90 days of the act's enactment.
