Government targets: HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, SENATE

ASKED TO SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING: - S.1666/H.R.3419, the Foreign Animal Disease Prevention, Surveillance, and Rapid Response Act, which would increase funding to fight foreign animal disease and extend authorization for the Animal Health Protection Act through 2028. - S.3358/H.R.1437, the Black Vulture Relief Act, which would allow livestock producers to take black vultures without a permit if the bird is causing death or injury to their animals. - H.Res.588, which would express the sense of the House of Representatives that research and promotion boards (checkoffs) support efforts to develop new markets and strengthen existing markets for specific commodities while conducting important research and promotional activities via pooled resources and stakeholder investments. - S.2235/H.R.5096, the Healthy Poultry Assistance and Indemnification Act, which would make all poultry growers and layer operations within a HPAI control area eligible to receive payments from APHIS compensation program, rather than only flocks that test positive. ASKED TO OPPOSE THE FOLLOWING: - S.557/H.R.1249, the Opportunities for Fairness in Farming (OFF) Act, which would establish restrictions and requirements for checkoff programs. These are programs overseen by USDA to promote and provide research and information for a particular agricultural commodity without reference to specific producers or brands. NEUTRAL/MONITORED BUT NOT LOBBIED BILLS: - H.R.945, the Strengthening Local Processing Act, which would increase the federal cost share for state facility inspections from 50 to 65% and for Cooperative Interstate Shipment (CIS) facilities from 60 to 80%, thus encouraging more states to operate state inspection programs and participate in CIS. - S.907/H.R.2814, the Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption (PRIME) Act, which would exempt from federal inspection requirements animals and meats that are slaughtered and prepared at custom animal slaughter facilities for distribution within the state. Under current law, a custom slaughter exemption applies if the meat is slaughtered exclusively for personal, household, guest, or employee uses. - S.993/H.R.1839, the Combating Illicit Xylazine Act, which would schedule xylazine as a controlled substance. OTHER: - Had conversations with PA delegation over PFB's concerns over scheduling xylazine due to animal welfare concerns. Xylazine is a commonly used animal tranquilizer used in the veterinary field, but it is now being laced with fentanyl. While PFB understands the impact it is having on fatal drug overdoses, animals rely on the drug for life saving medical procedures. Therefore, not having readily available access poses a danger to the animal's life.

ASKED TO SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING: - S.1666/H.R.3419, the Foreign Animal Disease Prevention, Surveillance, and Rapid Response Act, which would increase funding to fight foreign animal disease and extend authorization for the Animal Health Protection Act through 2028. - S.3358/H.R.1437, the Black Vulture Relief Act, which would allow livestock producers to take black vultures without a permit if the bird is causing death or injury to their animals. - H.Res.588, which would express the sense of the House of Representatives that research and promotion boards (checkoffs) support efforts to develop new markets and strengthen existing markets for specific commodities while conducting important research and promotional activities via pooled resources and stakeholder investments. - S.2235/H.R.5096, the Healthy Poultry Assistance and Indemnification Act, which would make all poultry growers and layer operations within a HPAI control area eligible to receive payments from APHIS compensation program, rather than only flocks that test positive. NEUTRAL/MONITORED BUT NOT LOBBIED BILLS: - S.907/H.R.2814, the Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption (PRIME) Act, which would exempt from federal inspection requirements animals and meats that are slaughtered and prepared at custom animal slaughter facilities for distribution within the state. Under current law, a custom slaughter exemption applies if the meat is slaughtered exclusively for personal, household, guest, or employee uses. - S.993/H.R.1839, the Combating Illicit Xylazine Act, which would schedule xylazine as a controlled substance. ASKED TO OPPOSE THE FOLLOWING: - S.557/H.R.1249, the Opportunities for Fairness in Farming (OFF) Act, which would establish restrictions and requirements for checkoff programs. These are programs overseen by USDA to promote and provide research and information for a particular agricultural commodity without reference to specific producers or brands. OTHER: Had conversations with PA House and Senate members over PFB's concerns over scheduling xylazine due to animal welfare concerns. Xylazine is a commonly used animal tranquilizer used in the veterinary field, but it is now being laced with fentanyl. While PFB understands the impact it is having on fatal drug overdoses, animals rely on the drug for life saving medical procedures. Therefore, not having readily available access poses a danger to the animal's life. - Informed Hill staffers that PFB is supportive of Rep. Clyde's letter to protect poultry farmers from unfair trade restrictions - namely from China - due to WOAHs outdated definition of poultry. - Participated in prop 12 roundtable led by Chairman "GT" Thompson with other House Members.
