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".
Summary
Senate Joint Resolution 62 is a measure that would block a Department of Agriculture rule allowing the importation of fresh beef from Paraguay into the United States. While the current rule permits these imports under specific safety conditions intended to prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease, this resolution would formally disapprove of and nullify that policy. If passed, the resolution would maintain the previous restrictions on Paraguayan beef, effectively preventing it from entering the American food supply and market.
