Save Our Bacon Act

Protection from varying State laws: The bill aims to ensure that producers of covered livestock are not subject to a patchwork of State laws that restrict access to a national market (Section 2(a)(3)).

Market encouragement: This legislation is intended to encourage a national market of products derived from covered livestock (Section 2(a)(2)).

Trade stability: The purpose of the act is to ensure that the United States continues to uphold its international trade obligations (Section 2(a)(4)).

Federal right to market: Producers are granted a Federal right to raise and market their covered livestock in interstate commerce (Section 2(b)).

Standardization of production standards: The bill prevents states from enforcing production conditions or standards on products not physically raised in that state that are different from the standards where the production actually occurred (Section 2(c)).

Limitations on State authority: No State or subdivision may enact or enforce conditions or standards on the production of covered livestock other than for those physically raised within that State or subdivision (Section 2(b)).

Restrictions on State regulation of interstate products: States are prohibited from enforcing conditions or standards of production as a condition for sale or consumption on products not physically raised in that state if those standards differ from those in the state of production (Section 2(c)).
