The bill saves poultry producers and federal taxpayers from near-term costs by blocking a new FSIS Salmonella rule, but it raises significant food‑safety risks, shifts outbreak response and costs to state/local governments, and prolongs regulatory uncertainty for industry stakeholders.
Small poultry producers and processors avoid new regulatory compliance costs because the bill prohibits FSIS from issuing the proposed Salmonella control rule.
Taxpayers do not pay for administering or enforcing a new FSIS Salmonella rule while the prohibition is in effect.
Consumers — especially people with chronic conditions, seniors, and children — face higher food‑safety risk because delaying or blocking Salmonella controls can weaken federal prevention and increase foodborne illness cases.
State and local health agencies and local governments may face higher costs and greater outbreak-response burdens because federal FSIS enforcement is blocked.
Processors and supply‑chain actors (including small businesses and middle‑class families tied to the industry) face prolonged regulatory uncertainty if a future Salmonella rule is needed but delayed.

Bans the use of any federal funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce FSIS’s proposed Salmonella Framework for raw poultry published Aug 7, 2024.
Introduced January 23, 2025 by Tracey Mann · Last progress January 23, 2025
Prohibits the use of any federal funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the FSIS proposed rule titled "Salmonella Framework for Raw Poultry Products" published August 7, 2024. The ban applies across all federal agencies and covers all four listed actions (finalize, implement, administer, enforce) for that specific FSIS publication. The measure does not create an alternative regulation or funding; it simply prevents federal money from being used to carry forward that specific proposed FSIS rule. It leaves other actors (states, private industry) free to act if they use nonfederal funds, but federal agencies would be barred from supporting or enforcing the rule with federal appropriations.
