The bill authorizes federally and state-licensed meat processors in Wyoming to compost nonedible portions of processed animals, excluding specified risk materials, and sell the resulting composted material as fertilizer, soil amendment, or soil conditioner. To ensure compliance, these meat processors must register their composted products with the Department of Agriculture and adhere to existing regulations for distributing commercial fertilizers and soil amendments. The bill also defines "specified risk materials" to include certain parts of cattle over 30 months old and specific intestinal components from all cattle.

Additionally, the bill amends the definition section of the relevant law to include the newly created section on composting by meat processors. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
