Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program Enhancement Act

HR 388, the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program Enhancement Act, requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture to contract with a land-grant or non-land-grant agricultural institution to review the existing Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program within one year of the bill's enactment. The review must evaluate the program's effectiveness in preventing tick-borne cattle illnesses, assess benefits and compliance burdens for cattle producers, examine treatment protocols, and analyze funding allocation. The resulting report, submitted to Congress within a year of the contract, will include findings and recommendations for program improvements, specifically targeting ways to reduce compliance burdens on producers. This bill does not alter the program's current operations but mandates a formal assessment to inform potential future changes.
