The CRS summary says the bill would expand federal inspection exemptions for custom slaughter facilities for in-state distribution to household consumers, restaurants, hotels, boarding houses, grocery stores, and other in-state establishments.

Massie introduced a concrete local-meat-processing bill aimed at farmers and consumers, but it did not advance beyond committee referral in the 118th Congress.

Congress.gov lists S.222 as sponsored by Sen. Roger Marshall, not Massie. The bill became Public Law No. 119-69 on January 14, 2026. The CRS summary says it revises National School Lunch Program milk requirements to allow whole, reduced-fat, low-fat, and fat-free flavored and unflavored milk, organic or nonorganic.

A related federal agriculture-and-food policy became law in 2026, but the official record cited here does not show Massie sponsoring it or casting an attributable roll-call vote, so it does not prove fulfillment of his promise.
