Summary of Bill SJRES 98

Bill 118 sjres 98 is a joint resolution in the US Congress that aims to disapprove a rule submitted by the Department of Agriculture regarding the use of electronic identification eartags as official identification in cattle and bison. The resolution falls under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn agency rules.

The rule in question would require the use of electronic identification eartags as the official form of identification for cattle and bison. This means that farmers and ranchers would be required to use these electronic tags to track and monitor their livestock. The Department of Agriculture believes that this rule would improve traceability and help in disease control efforts.

However, some members of Congress believe that this rule would place an unnecessary burden on farmers and ranchers. They argue that the cost of implementing electronic identification eartags could be prohibitive for smaller operations and that the rule could infringe on the rights of livestock owners. The joint resolution, if passed, would effectively nullify the Department of Agriculture's rule and prevent it from being implemented. It is currently being debated in Congress, with both supporters and opponents voicing their opinions on the potential impact of the rule on the agricultural industry.
