LC 3529 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise agriculture laws - Joint resolution urging Congress to act on brucellosis vaccines for livestock

This is a joint resolution (not a bill) passed by Montana's 69th Legislature urging the U.S. Congress to address a shortage of brucellosis vaccines for livestock. It directly affects Montana livestock producers, particularly in counties with mandatory vaccination requirements, as the only U.S. vaccine producer (Colorado Serum Company) faces production issues and shipping delays. The resolution asks Congress to: (1) expand vaccine availability, (2) fund rapid outbreak response assistance for states, and (3) create grant programs for preventative vaccinations. As a symbolic action, it will be sent to federal officials and Montana's congressional delegation but does not create new law.
