Summary
The PRIME Meat Processing in Indian Country Act amends the Federal Meat Inspection Act so that tribal personnel can inspect meat facilities that are at least 51% owned by a tribe or tribal organization. It creates a contract system where the USDA Secretary can enter self‑determination agreements with tribes to carry out these inspections, subject to USDA standards and oversight. The bill aims to give tribes more control over food safety while keeping federal protections in place.
