Veto Sustained 08/19/2026: RC 202-107 Lacking Necessary Two-Thirds Vote HJ 16 P. 42
Summary
The bill lets farms that raise beef cows, swine, sheep, goats, bison, elk or red deer slaughter and sell meat on‑site without USDA inspection, as long as they follow specific sanitary, labeling and record‑keeping rules. It caps the number of animals that can be processed each month, requires registration, and mandates clear consumer notices. The measure was vetoed because it did not receive the required two‑thirds legislative vote.
