This bill is formally titled Save Our Bacon Act

What does ENSURING THE FREE MOVEMENT OF LIVESTOCK-DERIVED PRODUCTS IN of Save Our Bacon Act do?

This section aims to protect the free movement of products derived from covered livestock in interstate commerce. It intends to encourage a national market for these products and prevent a patchwork of state laws that restrict access to that market. The section establishes a federal right for producers of covered livestock to raise and market their livestock in interstate commerce. States and their subdivisions are restricted from enacting or enforcing conditions or standards on the production of covered livestock unless the livestock was physically raised within that state. States cannot impose additional or different production conditions on products derived from covered livestock that were not raised in that state. Covered livestock includes domestic animals raised for slaughter or producing products derived from milk processing, but excludes those raised primarily for egg production. The term 'production' refers to the raising (including breeding) of covered livestock, but not its movement, harvesting, or further processing.
