The resolution, introduced on February 17, 2025, expresses the support of the West Virginia Legislature for the federal passage of the Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption Act (PRIME Act). It highlights the vulnerabilities in the nation's food supply revealed by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the concentration of meat production among a few major processors. The resolution also notes the growing consumer preference for locally produced food and points out the limitations imposed by current federal laws that restrict the intrastate sale of meat unless processed at federally inspected facilities, which may be inaccessible to local farmers.

By advocating for the PRIME Act, the resolution seeks to amend the Federal Meat Inspection Act to allow for the intrastate distribution of custom-slaughtered meat to various consumers and businesses, thereby enhancing local food systems and increasing the number of processing facilities in the U.S. The resolution concludes by directing the Clerk of the House to send a certified copy to the President of the U.S. Senate and the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, signaling West Virginia's official support for this legislative initiative.
