Replace Animal Tests Act of 2025
This bill requires companies to use non-animal testing methods for products regulated by the FDA, EPA, USDA, or Consumer Product Safety Commission when such methods are available and accepted by the agency. It bans submission of new animal test data for these products unless specific exceptions apply (like historical data or foreign regulatory needs). Companies must minimize animal use and suffering if non-animal methods aren't feasible, and agencies must publish annual reports tracking animal use and waivers. Violations could result in civil penalties up to $10,000 per instance.
