This bill proposes the addition of a new section to South Dakota's law that would allow producers to sell meat and meat food products directly to consumers, provided that such sales comply with federal law. Specifically, producers can sell meat from cattle, sheep, swine, or goats that they have raised for at least ninety days and processed at a custom exempt plant. The sales must occur directly from the producer to the consumer at specified locations, such as the producer's residence, farmers' markets, or roadside stands. Additionally, the packaging of the meat must include a label indicating that the product has not been inspected and that the consumer agrees not to sell or redistribute it.

The bill stipulates that this new provision will only take effect once the attorney general certifies that such sales are legalized under federal law. This legalization could occur through the passage of a federal law permitting direct-to-consumer sales of uninspected meat or through a federal court ruling that invalidates the current federal prohibition on such sales.
