Key Points

  • This bill, introduced by Ms. De La Cruz, requires the Department of Agriculture to hire a college or university to study the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program. This program is designed to stop the spread of ticks that carry a deadly disease for cows.
  • The study will look at how well the program is working to stop tick-borne illnesses and how much it costs taxpayers. It will also look at the rules cattle ranchers have to follow and whether those rules are too difficult or expensive for them.
  • Within two years, the Department of Agriculture must give a report to Congress with ideas on how to make the program better. A major goal is to find ways to make the program easier for cattle producers to follow while still keeping their animals safe.
