This bill would prohibit the Secretary of Agriculture from requiring cattle and bison producers to use electronic identification eartags. The legislation would block any rule or regulation that mandates this tracking technology for livestock. The bill primarily affects cattle and bison ranchers and producers who would otherwise be required to adopt electronic identification systems. There is no specific funding allocated in this bill, and it contains no set timeline for implementation since it simply prevents future regulatory action. The bill was introduced in May 2024 and referred to the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
