Catch Title:
Interstate shipment of state inspected meats.

Subject:
Participation in the cooperative interstate
shipment program.

Summary/Major
Elements:

Wyoming currently does not have a cooperative interstate
shipment program for a meat and poultry program as allowed by the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA). This program provides states with the
authority to set up a system that allows smaller producers to ship meat and
poultry across states lines without meeting some of the more burdensome
requirements imposed upon larger producers with full USDA approval.

This Act requires the Wyoming Department of Agriculture
identify the steps required for Wyomings participation in a cooperative
interstate shipment program for meat and poultry as allowed under USDA law and
rule and regulation for businesses with twenty-five (25) or fewer employees.

The Act also requires the state Department of
Agriculture identify participants eligible for program participation.

Comments:

Report required:
Not later than October 15, 2013, the Department of Agriculture to report to the
Joint Agriculture, State and Public Lands and Water Resources Interim Committee
regarding recommendations concerning the establishment of the program.
