Revise laws related to marking hides and meat

Maddy summarySB 78 revises laws related to the inspection and marking of hides and meat from slaughtered animals. The bill eliminates the requirement that each dressed carcass of a slaughtered animal must be stamped by an inspector. However, slaughtering establishments must still maintain the hide of each slaughtered animal for inspection and marking by a state or deputy state stock inspector. The bill also updates the requirements for inspectors when handling bills of sale that cover animals not included in the current inspection. Finally, it clarifies that individuals who kill livestock in good faith for their own use are not required to have the meat inspected or stamped.
