The Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption Act (PRIME Act), also known as Senate Bill 1620 (S. 1620) and House Bill 2859 (H.R. 2859), would permit the sale of meat processed by custom slaughterhouses that meet federal regulations. This legislation is vital to small scale producers, their communities, and consumers who demand local products.
