Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Task Force on Internationally-Licensed Health Care Professionals Act. Makes a technical change in a Section concerning the short title.
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Meat and Poultry Inspection Act. In provisions concerning exemptions, provides that poultry raisers with respect to poultry raised on the poultry raisers' own farms are exempt from the provisions if such raisers slaughter, eviscerate, or further process not more than 7,500 (rather than 5,000) poultry during the calendar year for which the exemption is being granted, and such poultry or poultry products are slaughtered, otherwise prepared, sold or delivered to the consumer on or from the premises for which the exemption is given, including sales at the poultry raiser's farm, at a farmers' market, at a roadside stand, or through delivery to the consumer (rather than only for which the exemption is given), in addition to other criteria. Adds the following requirements to provisions exempting poultry raisers with respect to poultry raised on the poultry raisers' own farms: (i) there is at least one person who is responsible for all periods of operation for the premises for which the exemption is given who has successfully obtained a certification as a Certified Food Protection Manager from a program that is accredited by the American National Standards Institute; (ii) the poultry products are labeled in at least 10-point font to include the producer's name and address, the date on which the poultry product was processed, and the statement "NOT INSPECTED-Exempt P.L. 90-492"; and (iii) at the point of sale, notice is provided in a prominent location and states the following: "These poultry products were processed in an on-farm facility that is exempt from continuous inspection by the Illinois Department of Agriculture or the United States Department of Agriculture.". Provides that a notice on a physical display shall be displayed on a placard and a notice displayed online shall be displayed in the form of a message on the farm's online sales interface at the point of sale.
