HB1064

The amendment significantly strengthens the bill by removing the option to slaughter animals on the producer's own premises and instead requiring use of a custom exempt plant, while also adding specific requirements that animals be raised by the producer for at least ninety days and that sales occur only at designated venues (the seller's residence, farmer's markets, roadside stands, or temporary sale venues) with the seller present. These changes narrow the bill's scope but add consumer protections and stricter production standards to make the direct-to-consumer meat sales more regulated and safer.

This change converts the bill from its engrossed committee version to its enrolled final version by removing legislative markup language and line numbers while adding official enrollment signatures and attestation language from legislative leadership and the Governor's office. The substantive provisions of the bill—allowing direct-to-consumer sales of producer-raised meat pending federal legalization—remain unchanged; this is a technical formatting transition rather than a policy modification.
