A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Agriculture relating to "Use of Electronic Identification Eartags as Official Identification in Cattle and Bison".
This resolution seeks congressional disapproval of a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) rule that would allow electronic eartags as official identification for cattle and bison. If approved, it would block the rule from taking effect, requiring ranchers to continue using traditional identification methods instead of electronic tags. The rule, published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2024, aimed to modernize livestock tracking systems. This disapproval process follows standard procedures under Title 5 of the U.S. Code for congressional review of federal regulations. The resolution directly affects cattle and bison producers who would have been required to adopt the new tagging system.
