As a condition of receipt of a grant under subsection (a), an eligible processing facility shall not, for a period of 10 years following the date of receipt of the grant, sell a slaughter or processing facility to, or merge the slaughter or processing facility with, a packer that owns more than 10 percent of the market share of meat and poultry markets.
There is appropriated, out of any funds in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $750,000,000 to the Secretary to carry out this section.
