PROP 12
The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC)
and NAMI have supported the decision by
a California Superior Court Judge to delay
enforcement of Proposition 12, the state's
animal confinement law, until 180 days after
final state regulations go into effect.
NPPC General Counsel Michael Formica
applauded the decision, recognizing the need
for additional time " to comply with the rule's
onerous, unconstitutional regulation, so the
supply chain can continue to supply pork
to California. "
" The decision is only a temporary reprieve, "
he said. " If allowed to be fully implemented,
Proposition 12 will cause catastrophic financial
harm to America's family farmers, driving many
out of business, and undermining the overall
global competitiveness of the US pork industry. "
Dopp said that enforcing the law without
final regulations, already more than two years
late, would leave the industry unsure of how to
comply with it or what changes would have to
be made to provide pork to the market. NPPC's
Formica added the law would force hog
farmers to register with California, even if they
are from other states, and require inspectors to
check how pigs are housed on farms.
NAMI challenged the law in federal court
going all the way to the US Supreme Court.
The high court declined to hear NAMI's case
last June. NPPC and the Farm Bureau then
petitioned the Supreme Court.
" We're asking the Supreme Court to throw
out the law as unconstitutional, it violates
limits on states' abilities to regulate commerce
outside their borders, " Dopp said.
For weeks, the Supreme Court has been
considering whether to take the NPPC and
Farm Bureau case. " The 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals said we have a viable case, " Formica
said. " An announcement is expected soon. "
