Freedom for Farmers Act of 2025
HR 91, the "Freedom for Farmers Act of 2025," is a procedural bill that abolishes the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) one year after enactment. It transfers the ATSDR’s core function - maintaining national registries for serious diseases and toxic substance exposures - to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), while amending over a dozen federal laws to remove references to the abolished agency. Despite its title, the bill does not directly affect farmers or agricultural policy; it focuses solely on restructuring environmental health agency operations within HHS.
