AI Summary

Directs the Secretary to update regulations within one year to let livestock market agencies own, finance, or help manage small meat packers, but only when the packers stay under specified slaughter-size limits.

Market agencies with these ties must clearly tell livestock sellers about the relationship. The change keeps all existing authority under the Packers and Stockyards Act to protect producers, fair competition, and market integrity.
