Save Our Bacon Act

This bill prohibits a state or local government from enacting or enforcing a condition or standard on livestock production for livestock physically raised in another state or locality.

Further, the bill prohibits a state or local government from enacting or enforcing a condition for sale or consumption that requires an out-of-state livestock producer to meet any of the state or local government’s conditions or standards of production that are in addition to, or different from, those in the state of production.

Under the bill, production means the raising (including breeding) of a domestic animal for the purpose of (1) slaughter for human consumption, or (2) producing products manufactured for human consumption which are derived from milk processing (e.g., fluid milk). The bill excludes domestic animals raised for the primary purpose of egg production.
