A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service relating to "Importation of Fresh Beef From Paraguay".
This joint resolution (SJRES 62) seeks congressional disapproval of a specific rule issued by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) regarding the importation of fresh beef from Paraguay. The resolution targets the rule published in the Federal Register on November 14, 2023 (88 Fed. Reg. 77883), which would have allowed such imports. If passed, the resolution would nullify that rule, preventing it from taking effect under procedures outlined in Title 5, U.S. Code. This action directly affects U.S. meat import regulations and the beef industry, specifically halting the implementation of the Paraguayan beef import rule.
