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 1697 pauses fees paid to the Missouri Beef Industry Council by beef producers until the U.S. Congress passes a law requiring "Product of the U.S.A." labels on beef exclusively born, raised, and slaughtered in the U.S. The bill directly affects the Council, which would temporarily stop receiving these fees, and impacts beef industry operators who would not pay them during the suspension. The key mechanism is linking the fee collection to federal legislation, with fees resuming only if Congress enacts the required labeling law. This policy change delays a state-level fee stream pending federal action on country-of-origin labeling.
