U.S. Supreme Court Ruling on Proposition 12 Expected in Early 2023
The President of the National Pork Producers Council says the U.S. Supreme Court has a lot to go over as it considers the constitutionality of California’s Proposition 12

Representatives of the National Pork Producers Council and the National Farm Bureau Federation presented oral arguments last week in their case to the Supreme Court of the United States against California’s Proposition 12, a ballot initiative passed in 2018 that bans the sale of pork in that state not raised in accordance with that state’s requirements.
Terry Wolters, the President of the National Pork Producers Council, says the judges were very well versed, very prepared and had some extremely pointed questions.
“It’s unconstitutional for California to regulate commerce outside of its state so we primarily felt like the case was brought on behalf of the pork producers”
