Relating to the state meat inspection program.

This bill expands the State Department of Agriculture's authority to include poultry products under the state meat inspection program, directly affecting businesses that process and sell poultry. It allows the department to establish a state inspection program for poultry, similar to its program for amenable species like cattle and sheep. This program must receive full federal approval and maintain inspection standards at least equal to federal requirements. The department can license establishments operating under these state inspection programs, and poultry processed through the federally approved state program becomes eligible for donation to charitable organizations.
