BEEF Act
Refreshed 1 h ago
Introduced 2026-09-17Topic: economy jobsSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would cancel the August 26, 2026 Presidential Proclamation that expanded the amount of foreign beef allowed into the United States, along with any later proclamation that is substantially similar. It would also block any future presidential action that increases beef imports unless Congress approves it by law within 30 days after it is submitted. The bill would create an advisory board within the Department of Agriculture, led by the Secretary of Agriculture with 11 appointed members, to develop a strategy to rebuild the cattle herd, increase domestic beef production, reduce regulations for ranchers, and keep beef affordable. The board would end 4 years after the bill becomes law.
