Legislation· Mar 2024Sponsored by Jon Tester (D)
A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service relating to "Importation of Fresh Beef From Paraguay".
Would have blocked the rule allowing fresh beef imports from Paraguay.
Tradeoff
Would have canceled an Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) rule that let fresh beef from Paraguay into the US. The rule allowed imports only if foot-and-mouth disease was absent from the region for 12 months.
