What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill gives the Department of Agriculture the authority to make agreements with other countries ahead of time so that if an animal disease breaks out in one part of the United States, only that specific area would be banned from exporting animals and animal products, while unaffected areas could keep selling their products abroad. Several government agencies would work together to negotiate these agreements with countries that buy U.S. livestock and animal products. The bill also says these negotiations should consider the latest global research on animal diseases.
