U.S. Swine Health Improvement Plan Act of 2026

This bill would require the Secretary of Agriculture to create and run a voluntary certification program for swine diseases, called the U.S. Swine Health Improvement Plan. The program's stated purpose is to improve biosecurity, traceability, disease surveillance, and preparedness for foreign animal diseases in the swine industry. The Secretary would also set up a federal advisory committee to give recommendations on running the program. Both would be established within one year by finalizing a rule proposed in December 2024, taking public comments into account. The bill authorizes $4.5 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
