SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Raising and processing of rabbits for sale; exemption from certain inspections. Prohibits the Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services from requiring that commercially slaughtered or processed rabbits that are offered for sale or service be slaughtered or processed under a voluntary inspection program administered by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) or the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Such rabbits shall still be subject to applicable provisions of Chapter 51 (§ 3.2-5100 et seq.) (Food and Drink) of Title 3.2. The bill also directs the State Board of Health to adopt regulations allowing the receipt by restaurants for sale or service of rabbits that are slaughtered or processed in a facility that complies with the relevant VDACS regulations.
