The South Dakota House has on a 37 to 30 vote defeated HB 1219 known as the Interstate Cooperative Meatpacking Compact. South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association Executive Director Jodie Anderson whose group opposed the bill says while on the surface the measure looked good would have created more problems than it would have solved.
She says what’s needed is a federal measure that allows state inspected meat to be shipped across state lines .
Anderson says another problem with HB 1219 is that if it had been approved could have led to the lost of federal support as well as elimination of South Dakota’s state meat inspection program.

HELENA, MT – House Bill 336 was introduced in the Montana House of Representatives in partnership with other states to create an Interstate Cooperative Meatpacking Compact. The purpose is to streamline interstate livestock commerce by removing state barriers and agreeing to meet federal regulations.
“Montana and other ag producing states have a long history of working together to meet the demands of our consumers,” Montana Speaker of the House Wylie Galt (R-Martinsdale) said Wednesday. “As state leaders, it is our job to remove barriers to commerce between our states. We believe this compact will mutually benefit our ag economies and increase consumer access to locally raised meat products.”
