LB665

Nebraska LB665 prohibits the use of electronic identification devices for livestock manufactured by entities tied to foreign adversaries.

Nebraska LB665 amends the Animal Health and Disease Control Act to prohibit the use of electronic identification devices for livestock manufactured by entities with ties to foreign adversaries. The bill also prohibits the Department of Agriculture from requiring such devices. It defines foreign adversary as any foreign government or nongovernment person determined to threaten Nebraska and U.S. security. The bill repeals original sections and harmonizes provisions to protect livestock resources and prevent disease outbreaks.
