Bill > HR690

This bill seeks to prohibit the use of federal funds to implement a proposed Salmonella Framework for Raw Poultry Products, which was published by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the Department of Agriculture in the Federal Register on August 7, 2024. Specifically, the bill prevents any federal funds from being used to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce this proposed rule and determination. The proposed framework likely relates to new food safety standards or testing requirements for raw poultry to reduce Salmonella contamination, but this bill would effectively block the FSIS from moving forward with those proposed regulations by cutting off financial resources needed to put them into practice. The legislation appears to be a direct legislative intervention to stop a specific regulatory effort that the bill's sponsors may view as overly burdensome or unnecessary for the poultry industry.
