Bill 119 HR 1376, also known as the "Poultry Compensation Act," aims to amend the Animal Health Protection Act to provide compensation for poultry growers and layers in control areas. The bill is designed to assist poultry farmers who may suffer financial losses due to outbreaks of diseases such as avian influenza. Under the proposed legislation, poultry growers and layers in control areas would be eligible to receive compensation for any losses incurred as a result of disease control measures, such as quarantine or depopulation. The bill also includes provisions for the establishment of a fund to provide financial assistance to affected farmers. In addition to providing compensation for poultry farmers, the bill also includes measures to improve disease prevention and control efforts. This includes increased funding for research and development of vaccines and other preventative measures, as well as enhanced coordination between federal, state, and local agencies. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1376 seeks to support the poultry industry by providing financial assistance to farmers affected by disease outbreaks, while also working to improve disease prevention and control efforts to protect the health and well-being of poultry populations in the United States.
