The bill amends the Wyoming Food Freedom Act to allow the sale of homemade meat products under specific conditions. It introduces the definition of a "custom slaughter facility," which is a facility without a state or federal inspector on duty, and clarifies that meat produced there is not considered state or federally inspected. The bill permits producers to sell meat from cattle, sheep, swine, or goats that they have raised and slaughtered, provided they meet certain criteria, including selling directly to informed consumers in Wyoming and providing a written warning about the lack of inspection.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the new provisions regarding the sale of meat products will only take effect once the governor certifies that such sales are legalized under federal law. This certification can occur either through the passage of a federal law allowing direct-to-consumer sales of uninspected meat or a federal court ruling declaring the prohibition on such sales unconstitutional. The bill also authorizes the Department of Agriculture to create necessary rules for implementation once the governor's certification is received, with an effective date set for July 1, 2025.
