HB 584 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a "Meat Production Justice Grant Program"

HB 584 creates a "Meat Production Justice Grant Program" administered by Missouri's Agricultural and Small Business Development Authority. It provides grants to eligible beef producers (who maintain Beef Quality Assurance Certification) and pork producers (who maintain Pork Quality Assurance Plus Certification) to fund facility improvements needed to meet quality standards. Grantees must maintain their certifications for five years, and the program includes mechanisms for quarterly verification, corrective action plans for non-compliance, and repayment of funds if standards are not met. The bill establishes a dedicated state fund for these grants, with interest earnings credited back to the fund, and requires the authority to post application procedures online.
