The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5258, seeks to amend current statutes to allow butcher shops to process livestock that is both farmer-owned and inspected by the USDA. This legislative change aims to alleviate the existing backlog in the processing of livestock for farmers, thereby improving efficiency and supporting local agricultural operations.

The bill introduces new legal language that specifically authorizes butcher shops to engage in the processing of the specified livestock, which is a significant addition to current law. There are no deletions indicated in the text, suggesting that the bill is solely focused on this new authorization without removing any existing provisions.
