A bill to delay the implementation of a rule relating to the importation of sheep and goats and products derived from sheep and goats, and for other purposes.
This bill delays the implementation of a 2016 federal rule governing sheep and goat imports for one year. It requires the Secretary of Agriculture to study the rule's potential economic impacts, including import volumes, regional market effects, pandemic influences, and effects on U.S. producers and animal health. The study must assess costs, benefits, and risks before the Secretary submits a report to Congress with recommendations for modifying the rule. The delay and study directly affect U.S. sheep/goat producers, importers, and federal agencies managing livestock regulations.
