S 3377 United States Senate · 119th Congress

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 USDA rule governing sheep, goat, and related product imports for one year. It requires the Secretary of Agriculture to study the rule's economic impacts - including import volumes, regional market effects, pandemic-related changes, and potential industry consequences - before finalizing or enforcing it. The study must be completed within one year, with a report submitted to relevant congressional committees (agriculture, foreign affairs, and oversight panels) detailing findings and recommending changes to address negative effects. The delay directly affects USDA enforcement, importers, and U.S. sheep/goat producers by pausing the rule’s implementation while the study is conducted.
