H.R. 1376

House

To amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for maternal mortality and morbidity research and data collection, and for other purposes.

Sponsor: Rep. Davis, Danny K. [D-IL-7]

Stalled

No recorded action in more than nine months. Bills that see no further action expire at the end of the two-year Congress.

In brief

The Healthy Poultry Assistance and Indemnification Act of 2025 expands the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) indemnity program to require compensation for poultry growers and layers prohibited from raising birds due to their location within a disease control area. The bill extends these payments to owners of non-infected flocks located in buffer zones who face income losses from government-mandated production halts. It establishes a new formula basing payments on a facility’s average income from its five most recent flocks and bars judicial review of these payment determinations. Introduced by Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA), the legislation is currently under review by a House subcommittee.
