S 937 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to amend Public Law 117-169 to prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from using funds for methane monitoring to be used to monitor emissions of methane from livestock, and for other purposes.

This bill prohibits the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from using federal funds to monitor methane emissions specifically from livestock operations. It amends existing law by adding a clear restriction that funds allocated under Section 60105(e) cannot be spent on tracking methane emissions from animal agriculture. The policy directly affects the EPA’s methane monitoring program, limiting its scope to exclude livestock sources. This is a funding restriction, not a ban on monitoring livestock emissions overall.
