Expanding Local Meat Processing Act of 2025
This bill directs the Department of Agriculture to revise its regulations to allow certain packers to hold an ownership interest in, finance, or participate in the management or operation of a market agency selling livestock on a commission basis.

In addition, the bill includes a disclosure requirement for a market agency that has an ownership interest in, finances, or participates in the management or operation of a packer to which the agency sells consigned livestock. Specifically, the market agency must disclose on the account of sale (1) the name of the packer, and (2) the nature of the relationship between the market agency and the packer.
