Missouri HB1697 suspends fees to the Missouri Beef Industry Council until U.S. Congress mandates country of origin labels for beef.

Missouri HB1697 amends Chapter 275 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section. 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 The suspension also applies if such legislation is later repealed.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.
