Bill 118 hr 5458, also known as BO's Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The bill aims to address issues related to animal welfare and protection, specifically focusing on the treatment of dogs in commercial breeding facilities.

Under BO's Act, commercial dog breeders would be required to meet certain standards of care for their animals, including providing adequate food, water, shelter, and veterinary care.

Additionally, BO's Act includes provisions for increased oversight and enforcement of existing animal welfare laws, as well as penalties for those found to be in violation of the regulations. The bill has garnered bipartisan support, with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle recognizing the importance of protecting animals from cruelty and neglect. Overall, BO's Act represents a significant step forward in the fight for animal rights and welfare in the United States. If passed, the bill has the potential to improve the lives of countless dogs and other animals who are currently suffering in substandard conditions.
