TO PLACE LOCATION RESTRICTIONS ON CERTAIN FOOD PROCESSING PLANTS OPERATING A SLAUGHTERHOUSE ON THE SAME GROUNDS AS THE FOOD PROCESSING PLANTS.

HB 1436 proposes to establish location restrictions for certain food processing plants operating a slaughterhouse on the same property. The bill stipulates that such plants, if located within a city of the first class, cannot operate within two miles of a church, a public school, or a densely populated residential area. This measure would apply to new or relocating food processing plants that include a slaughterhouse in these specific urban areas. However, it would not affect plants already operating on the effective date of the act.
