H.R. 3915, the Foreign Animal Disease Prevention, Surveillance, and Rapid Response Act of 2025, reauthorizes federal programs that help prevent and manage animal diseases in the United States. The bill increases and extends funding for three main programs: the National Animal Health Laboratory Network, the National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program, and the National Animal Vaccine and Veterinary Countermeasures Bank. From fiscal years 2026 through 2029, the Department of Agriculture will receive $233 million annually from the Commodity Credit Corporation, with at least $70 million per year dedicated to disease preparedness and response. Starting in 2031 and continuing indefinitely, the bill guarantees $75 million annually for these programs. The legislation primarily affects farmers, veterinarians, and the agriculture industry, providing resources to detect and respond quickly to disease outbreaks that could threaten livestock and food security.
