SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Stewardship Alliance announced the signing of House Bill 2196 into law, which expands on-farm poultry processing opportunities for small-scale farmers and brings Illinois regulations closer to federal standards and neighboring states.
Championed by Sen. Sally Turner, R-Beason, and Rep. Charlie Meier, R-Okawville, HB2196 increases the annual poultry processing limit from 5,000 to 7,500 birds, permits direct-to-consumer sales at farmers markets, and eliminates the 30-day ownership requirement previously imposed on consumers wishing to process poultry and livestock for personal or cultural purposes.
