I'm feeling incredibly grateful for those who got this in front of President Trump, and I look forward to rolling-up my sleeves and diving into the rulemaking meetings to come. "Section 1. Purpose. American ranchers want to be able to butcher, process, package, AND SELL their meat to consumers across State lines while maintaining the highest standards of food safety and avoid being overcharged by monopolistic practices by meat processors..." "Sec. 3. Expanding Interstate Market Access for Eligible Meat Products. (a) The Secretary shall take actions consistent with applicable law to expand opportunities for interstate shipment of meat products, including by: "(i) accelerating outreach and streamlining processes to increase State participation in the USDA’s State Meat and Poultry Inspection Program, the Cooperative Interstate Shipment Program, and the Talmadge-Aiken Cooperative Inspection Program;...." "(v) removing unnecessary Food Safety Inspection Service inspection reporting requirements and overly prescriptive requirements, consistent with applicable law, that do not advance essential food safety needs; and "(vi) establishing a coordinator position within USDA to implement these actions and serve as a conduit to ranchers and small and medium sized processors." Hopefully, I'll have no issues running the same bill again here in South Dakota that merely attempted to codify federal exemptions existing in the FMIA and PPIA into state law as it is well past time to address the FSIS fear mongering over state designations! Used for over a decade to bully state lawmakers - preventing them from adopting even basic and permissible federal frameworks - FSIS regulations need to be written in positive, permissible language that clarifies (without ANY ambiguity) what authority and steps the states CAN take without fearing for costly federal intervention or frankly, retribution. This Executive Order is a huge step in the right direction! Thank you to everyone who got us here. You know who you are.
