The bill standardizes the research center's official name for clearer identification by staff and researchers while imposing only minor administrative costs on the USDA and taxpayers.
Federal employees and visiting researchers will refer to the facility by its new name, Abit Massey Poultry Research Center, creating consistent identification across documents, signage, and communications.
The USDA, federal staff, and taxpayers will incur small administrative costs to update signage, stationery, websites, and legal references to reflect the new name.
