SJRES 62 - A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service relating to "Importation of Fresh Beef From Paraguay".
118th Congress (2nd) Vote 101 is a Senate Vote on Bill SJRES 62, A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service relating to "Importation of Fresh Beef From Paraguay".. SJRES 62 was introduced on February 26, 2024 by 1 Sponsors and 24 Cosponsors.
Bill 118 SJRes 62 is a joint resolution that aims to disapprove a rule submitted by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) regarding the importation of fresh beef from Paraguay. The rule in question falls under chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code, which governs the regulatory process for federal agencies.
The resolution seeks to overturn the APHIS rule, which would allow for the importation of fresh beef from Paraguay into the United States. Supporters of the resolution argue that allowing beef imports from Paraguay could pose risks to American consumers, as the country may not have the same food safety standards as the US.
Opponents of the resolution, on the other hand, believe that the rule is necessary to promote trade and economic growth between the US and Paraguay. They argue that the beef industry in Paraguay has been deemed safe by international standards and that importing beef from the country would benefit American consumers by providing them with more choices and potentially lower prices.
Overall, the resolution is a contentious issue that highlights the complex considerations involved in regulating international trade and ensuring food safety for American consumers. It will be up to Congress to decide whether to approve or disapprove the APHIS rule regarding the importation of fresh beef from Paraguay.
