Bill > HR3623

This bill, known as the Horse Transportation Safety Act of 2025, amends existing transportation regulations to prohibit the interstate transportation of horses in motor vehicles with two or more stacked levels. Specifically, the bill makes it illegal for any person to transport a horse across state lines in a multi-level vehicle, with a motor vehicle defined as a mechanical power-driven vehicle primarily used on public highways (excluding rail vehicles). Violators would be subject to a civil penalty ranging from $100 to $500 for each horse transported in violation of the new regulation, and these penalties would be in addition to any other existing legal remedies. The bill aims to improve horse transportation safety by preventing horses from being transported in potentially dangerous multi-level trailers, which could pose risks to the animals' well-being during interstate travel. The proposed changes would be added to Title 49 of the United States Code, which governs transportation regulations.
