Summary

Changes a provision of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 to specify that the federal prohibition in that statute applies to "a dog, cat, or equine." The amendment replaces a prior list of animals in the statute with the single phrase "a dog, cat, or equine," without adding funding, deadlines, or other procedural requirements. The change is narrowly textual and focuses who the statute names as the subjects of the prohibition; it does not create new programs, appropriate money, or explicitly change enforcement mechanisms in the text provided.
