Healthy Poultry Assistance and Indemnification Act of 2025

Summary

Creates a federal compensation program for owners of poultry growing or laying facilities located inside APHIS-designated control areas who were prevented from producing flocks because of the control area. The bill defines which birds count as "poultry," requires the Secretary to pay owners an amount equal to the owner's average income from their five most recent flocks times the number of flocks lost (reduced by any other compensation already received), requires payment within 60 days of a request, applies existing exceptions, and bars duplicative payments and most judicial review of those payment determinations.

• Payment determinations are final with limited judicial or federal review (only to the Secretary or designee).
• Section creating the short title contains no operative mandates.
• The statute does not specify a funding source or appropriation process for the payments.
