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.
