A. The Board shall, by regulation and under such conditions,

including requirements, as to sanitary standards, practices, and

procedures as it may prescribe, exempt from specific provisions of

this act with respect to processing of poultry or poultry products

solely for intrastate commerce and distribution of poultry or

poultry products only in such commerce:

1. for such period of time as the Board determines that it

would be impracticable to provide inspection and the exemption will

aid in the effective administration of this act, any person engaged

in the processing of poultry or poultry products and the poultry or

poultry products processed by such person; provided, that, no such

exemption shall continue in effect more than one hundred twenty

(120) days after enactment of this act;

2. persons slaughtering, processing, or otherwise handling

poultry or poultry products which have been or are to be processed

as required by recognized religious dietary laws, to the extent that

the Board determines necessary to avoid conflict with such

requirements while still effectuating the purposes of this act;

3. the slaughtering by any person of poultry of his own

raising, and the processing by him and transportation of the poultry

products exclusively for use by him and members of his household and

his nonpaying guests and employees;

4. the custom slaughter by any person of poultry delivered

by the owner thereof for such slaughter, and the processing by such

slaughterer and transportation of the poultry products exclusively

for use, in the household of such owner, by him and members of his

household and his nonpaying guests and employees; provided, that,

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 2. Agriculture Page 298

such custom slaughterer does not engage in the business of buying or

selling any poultry products capable of use as human food;

5. operations of types traditionally and usually conducted

at retail stores and restaurants, when conducted at any retail store

or restaurant or similar retail-type establishment for sale in

normal retail quantities or service of such articles to consumers at

such establishments, if no poultry or poultry products are processed

at the establishment for distribution within this state or otherwise

subject to inspection under the Federal Poultry Products Inspection

Act.

B. The provisions of this act shall not apply to poultry

producers with respect to poultry of their own raising on their own

farms if

1. such producers slaughter not more than two hundred

fifty turkeys, or not more than an equivalent number of birds of all

species during the calendar year for which this exemption is being

determined, four birds of other species being deemed the equivalent

of one turkey;

2. such poultry producers do not engage in buying or

selling poultry products other than those produced from poultry

raised on their own farms.

C. The adulteration and misbranding provisions of this act,

other than the requirement of the inspection legend, shall apply to

articles which are exempted from inspection under this section.

D. The Board may by order suspend or terminate any exemption

with respect to any person whenever it finds that such action will

aid in effectuating the purposes of this act.
