Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program Enhancement Act of 2025
S 319 requires the Secretary of Agriculture to contract with a land-grant or non-land-grant college of agriculture to review the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program within one year of the bill's enactment. The review must assess the program's effectiveness, benefits and compliance burdens for cattle producers, treatment protocols, and funding allocation. The Secretary must then submit a report to Congress within one year of the contract, including review results and recommendations to improve the program, particularly to reduce compliance burdens on cattle producers. This bill directly affects cattle producers through program requirements and the agencies managing the program (USDA and Texas Animal Health Commission). The legislation focuses on evaluating the existing program rather than changing its core operations.
