HB 1690 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Suspends the fees collected and remitted to the Missouri Beef Industry Council until the United States Congress passes a law mandating country of origin label for beef

HB 1690 suspends fees paid by Missouri beef producers to the Missouri Beef Industry Council until the U.S. Congress passes a law requiring country-of-origin labeling on beef products. Specifically, it pauses fees collected under sections 275.300-275.370 until federal law mandates labels like "Product of the U.S.A." for beef born, raised, and slaughtered entirely in the U.S. The suspension automatically ends if Congress enacts such labeling, but reinstates if that federal law is later repealed. This bill directly affects Missouri beef producers who currently pay these fees, pending federal action on labeling requirements.
