Requires producers supplying meat, dairy products, or eggs to the military, federal prisons, school lunches, and other federal programs to comply with basic animal welfare requirements.
The bill would not permit government suppliers to:
- Starve or force-feed animals.
- Leave sick or injured animals to languish without treatment or humane euthanasia.
- Confine animals so restrictively that they are unable to stand, lie down, move their heads freely, turn around, or extend their limbs.
