West Virginia Prime Act

Summary

The West Virginia PRIME Act lets farmers, ranchers and small processors sell meat they have custom‑slaughtered directly to consumers or local retailers inside the state without needing federal or state inspection. It requires a simple label stating the meat is from a custom‑exempt facility and not for interstate commerce, and it limits the Department of Agriculture’s ability to regulate these sales, while also blocking local bans unless there is an immediate health emergency.
