About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · June 18, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
This joint resolution disapproves a Department of Agriculture rule that would allow electronic identification eartags to serve as official identification for cattle and bison. If passed, the rule would be blocked and have no legal effect. The resolution was introduced by Senator Lummis of Wyoming and Senator Barrasso in June 2024 and referred to the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. The measure affects cattle and bison producers who would have been subject to the electronic identification requirement. This is a disapproval resolution under congressional procedures that allow lawmakers to overturn federal agency regulations without the President's signature.
