A BILL To amend the Animal Health Protection Act to provide compensation for poultry growers and layers in control areas, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the Healthy Poultry Assistance and Indemnification Act, amends the Animal Health Protection Act to provide compensation for poultry growers and layers (owners of poultry facilities) who are prohibited from growing or laying eggs due to their facilities being located within a "control area" determined by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. The compensation will be based on the average income from the 5 most recent flocks of birds that the facility was prevented from growing or laying, with some limitations to prevent duplicate payments. The Secretary of Agriculture is required to make these compensation payments within 60 days of the owner's request.
