 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Amends the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921 to redefine "poultry grower" as any person engaged in the business of raising or caring for live poultry under a poultry growing arrangement, whether the poultry is owned by such person or by another person. (Eliminates the poultry slaughter provision from such definition.)

Extends: (1) administrative enforcement authority to live poultry dealers; (2) injunctive or restraining order authority to instances of poultry care; and (3) the Secretary of Agriculture's authority to issue a complaint against a live poultry dealer to any violation of such Act.
