Summary of Bill HR 1116

Bill 119 HR 1116, also known as the "Cell-Cultured Meat Prohibition Act," aims to prevent the use of Federal funds to support the production and sale of cell-cultured meat. Cell-cultured meat, also known as lab-grown meat, is a type of meat that is produced by culturing animal cells in a laboratory setting, rather than raising and slaughtering animals.

The bill seeks to prohibit the use of taxpayer dollars to support the research, development, production, or marketing of cell-cultured meat. Supporters of the bill argue that cell-cultured meat is not a sustainable or ethical alternative to traditional meat production, and that Federal funds should not be used to promote its development.

Opponents of the bill argue that cell-cultured meat has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of meat production, as well as improve animal welfare. They believe that Federal funds should be used to support the research and development of this innovative technology. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1116 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the future of meat production in the United States. It will be interesting to see how this bill progresses through Congress and what impact it may have on the future of cell-cultured meat in the US.
