SAFE Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • The bill authorizes the Agriculture Department to negotiate agreements with other countries that allow regional export bans during animal disease outbreaks.
  • U.S. livestock producers and exporters are affected, as the agreements would limit export bans to only disease-affected areas.
  • The department can proactively negotiate these agreements in advance to minimize trade disruptions when disease threats emerge.
