The proposed bill aims to enhance public health and safety by prohibiting the manufacture, sale, and distribution of cultivated meat for human consumption in Wyoming. It introduces a definition for "cultivated meat," specifying it as meat grown entirely in a laboratory from cultured animal cells rather than sourced from animals. The bill also establishes penalties for violations of this prohibition and outlines the authority of regulatory bodies to summarily suspend licenses for food establishments found to be involved in the manufacture or sale of cultivated meat.

Additionally, the bill mandates the Department of Agriculture to create necessary rules for its implementation. The effective date for the act is set for July 1, 2025, with certain sections taking effect immediately upon the completion of legislative processes. The amendments to existing law include the insertion of new definitions and prohibitions related to cultivated meat, while renumbering existing paragraphs to accommodate these changes.
