Summary of Bill S 3382

Bill 118 s 3382, also known as the Protecting Interstate Commerce for Livestock Producers Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to protect the rights of livestock producers who engage in interstate commerce.

The bill aims to prevent states from imposing restrictions on the transportation of livestock across state lines.

This can ultimately benefit both producers and consumers by increasing efficiency in the livestock industry. Overall, the Protecting Interstate Commerce for Livestock Producers Act is designed to support the livelihoods of livestock producers and promote a more competitive and efficient marketplace for livestock products.
