AI Summary

Allows certain small meat packers to be exempted from a current regulatory prohibition if the Secretary of Agriculture updates that regulation within one year after this law takes effect. The change sets eligibility by slaughter capacity, requires market agencies to disclose any ownership or management ties to packers on sale accounts, and keeps the Secretary’s authority to enforce the Packers and Stockyards Act to protect producers and market fairness.
