This new section suspends fees collected and remitted to the Missouri Beef Industry Council until the United States Congress passes a law requiring beef and beef food products to display a country of origin label. The suspension also applies if such legislation is later repealed. This bill aims to align state actions with federal requirements for beef labeling.
