Summary
Extends the coverage of the Poultry Products Inspection Act to include (1) domesticated rabbits and the establishments in which such rabbits are processed; (2) persons who slaughter or handle such rabbits; and (3) any other person performing any act relating to such rabbits if such acts, if related to poultry, would subject that person to the provisions of the Poultry Products Inspection Act. Allows a State two years from the date of enactment of this Act to develop and enforce, with respect to establishments processing domesticated rabbits within its bodies, requirements at least equal to those imposed by the Poultry Products Inspection Act or have such intrastate activities come under Federal regulation.
