Meat and Poultry Special Investigator Act

This bill creates a new office called the Office of the Special Investigator for Competition Matters within the government's Agricultural Marketing Service. This office would investigate and prosecute violations of the Packers and Stockyards Act of 1921, which is a law designed to ensure fair competition and trade practices in the livestock, meat, and poultry industries. The office would have the power to use subpoenas and bring legal actions, work with other government agencies like the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission, and employ lawyers and other experts to do this work.
