To amend the Federal Meat Inspection Act, to provide exemptions for small scale red meat producers and processors.

Section 2 allows the Secretary to exempt from inspection requirements certain meat or meat food products intended for direct distribution by the producer directly to the consumer at places like farm stands and farmers markets. This could benefit small-scale producers by making it easier to sell their goods directly to the public without standard inspection hurdles.

Section 3 ensures the non-preemption of certain State laws, meaning the bill does not preempt any State law that provides exemptions from State requirements for farm slaughter, preparation, or meat sales that are more permissive than the bill's exemptions. This benefits people by allowing states to keep or pass rules that are even more relaxed for local producers.

Section 2 sets specific slaughter limits that a producer must not exceed in the preceding calendar year to qualify for the exemption, such as not more than 25 cattle, 60 swine, 250 sheep, or 250 goats. This could burden or exclude producers who slaughter amounts just above these strict caps from participating in the exemption.

Section 2 also states that the exemption shall not apply if a livestock producer slaughters or processes the products of more than 200 cattle, 500 swine, 2,000 sheep, or 2,000 goats in the preceding calendar year. This creates a hard cutoff that could negatively impact growing small businesses that exceed these exact volume limits.
