U.S. Swine Health Improvement Plan Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill creates a voluntary program to help pig farmers protect their animals from diseases. It focuses on improving farm security and tracking where pigs are moved to prevent the spread of infections.
• The program aims to prepare the country for foreign animal diseases that could hurt the food supply. Participating farms would get a special certification for following these safety rules.
• A new group of experts will be formed to advise the government on how to run the program. This ensures that the rules make sense for the people actually raising the animals.
• Congress would provide 4.5 million dollars every year through 2031 to fund this effort. The goal is to have the new rules and the advisory group ready within one year of the bill becoming law.
