Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This joint resolution disapproves a rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services on May 13, 2024, that regulates the importation of dogs and cats from foreign countries to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. If passed, the rule would be invalidated and would no longer be enforceable. The resolution was introduced by Representatives Golden of Maine and Tenney and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The measure affects pet owners and anyone involved in importing dogs and cats into the United States, as well as the federal agencies responsible for enforcing quarantine and disease control measures. No specific funding or timeline is mentioned in the resolution, as it is primarily a procedural measure to reject an existing regulation.
