Horse Transportation Safety Act of 2025

HR 3623, the Horse Transportation Safety Act of 2025, prohibits transporting horses between states in motor vehicles with two or more stacked levels. This directly affects horse transporters, including owners and carriers moving horses across state lines. The bill defines "motor vehicle" to exclude rail vehicles but requires compliance with the multi-level ban, imposing civil penalties of $100-$500 per horse transported in violation. Violations are enforced through separate penalties for each horse transported illegally, in addition to other applicable laws.
