Cattle producers could see federal program rules reviewed and improved to ease their burdens.
This bill would require the U.S. Department of Agriculture to get an outside review of the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program. The review would look at how well the program works and how it affects cattle producers, aiming to find ways to make it better and less burdensome for them. The findings and recommendations would then be sent to Congress.
Today, there is no requirement for an independent review of the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program's effectiveness, benefits, burdens, or funding. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Agriculture would be required to hire a college or university to review the program. The Secretary would then send a report to Congress with findings and recommendations, specifically addressing ways to reduce the burden on cattle producers.
