EXPLANATION
3
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
4
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
5
BACKGROUND.
This
bill
amends
the
“Meat
and
Poultry
6
Inspection
Act”
(Iowa
Act),
which
is
administered
and
enforced
7
by
the
department
of
agriculture
and
land
stewardship
(DALS)
8
and
which
regulates
a
business
engaged
in
the
slaughter
of
9
livestock
or
poultry,
the
processing
of
the
livestock
or
10
poultry,
and
the
preparation
of
meat
products
or
poultry
11
products
derived
from
those
slaughtered
animals.
The
meat
or
12
poultry
product
is
generically
referred
to
as
an
“article”.
13
DALS
regulates
these
activities
on
an
intrastate
basis
under
14
a
cooperative
agreement
with
the
United
States
department
15
of
agriculture
(USDA),
which
administers
and
enforces
two
16
complementary
Acts
(federal
Acts):
the
federal
Meat
Inspection
17
Act
as
amended
by
the
Wholesome
Meat
Act
(21
U.S.C.
chapter
12)
18
and
the
federal
Poultry
Products
Inspection
Act
as
amended
by
19
the
Wholesome
Poultry
Products
Act
(21
U.S.C.
chapter
10).
In
20
both
cases,
USDA
regulates
businesses
engaged
in
interstate
or
21
foreign
commerce
but
may
regulate
any
business
if
it
determines
22
that
the
state
enforcement
of
its
statutes
does
not
at
least
23
equal
federal
enforcement
of
the
federal
Acts
(Code
section
24
189A.3(3)).
25
BILL’S
PROVISIONS.
The
bill
creates
a
personal
use
26
exception
to
the
licensing
provisions
in
the
Iowa
Act
for
27
livestock
and
poultry
based
on
two
such
exemptions
in
the
28
federal
Acts
regarding
the
inspections.
An
existing
provision
29
authorizes
DALS
to
adopt
rules
providing
a
personal
use
30
exemption
to
inspection
requirements.
Under
the
federal
Meat
31
Inspection
Act,
the
owner
raising
livestock
must
slaughter
and
32
process
the
livestock;
the
prepared
articles
derived
from
the
33
processed
livestock
must
be
fit
for
human
consumption;
the
34
articles
must
be
prepared,
packaged,
or
held
under
sanitary

conditions;
and
the
articles
must
be
for
the
personal
use
1
of
the
owner
raising
the
livestock,
a
member
of
the
owner’s
2
household,
or
a
nonpaying
guest
or
employee.
Under
the
federal
3
Poultry
Products
Inspection
Act,
similar
requirements
apply.
4
The
owner
or
producer
of
poultry
must
slaughter
and
process
5
the
poultry;
the
poultry
must
be
healthy
when
slaughtered
6
and
processed;
the
poultry
must
be
slaughtered
and
processed
7
under
sanitary
conditions;
the
poultry
product
derived
from
8
the
slaughtered
poultry
must
be
for
their
private
use,
or
the
9
private
use
of
a
member
of
their
household
or
a
nonpaying
guest
10
or
employee;
the
poultry
product
cannot
be
sold
or
donated;
and
11
any
shipping
containing
an
article
must
include
information
12
about
the
producer.
