This concurrent resolution doesn't change South Dakota state law; instead, it's a statement urging Congress to strengthen federal livestock market rules by increasing competition and transparency among large meat packers. The resolution calls for amendments to the federal Agricultural Marketing Act to require more cash trades and price transparency, arguing that market consolidation has reduced fair pricing for South Dakota cattle producers.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
