Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program Enhancement Act of 2023

S 1836, the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program Enhancement Act of 2023, requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture to contract with agricultural colleges (like land-grant universities) to review the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program. The review will assess the program's effectiveness in preventing tick spread, evaluate benefits and compliance burdens for cattle producers, examine treatment protocols, and analyze funding allocation. Within one year of the contract, the Secretary of Agriculture must submit a report to Congress detailing findings and recommendations for improving the program, specifically aiming to reduce producer burdens. This bill directly affects cattle producers in tick-affected areas and the federal/state agencies managing the tick eradication program.
