Disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of Agriculture relating to "Use of Electronic Identification Eartags as Official Identification in Cattle and Bison".
About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · September 3, 2024
Referred to the Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry.
This joint resolution rejects a Department of Agriculture rule that would allow electronic identification eartags to be used as official identification for cattle and bison. The rule, published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2024, would be nullified if Congress approves this measure. The resolution affects livestock producers and the agriculture industry, particularly those who raise cattle and bison. The joint resolution was introduced in June 2024 by a group of House Republicans and referred to the Agriculture Committee. If passed, the rule would be prevented from going into effect, effectively blocking the USDA's electronic identification system for these animals.
