What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Healthy Poultry Assistance and Indemnification Act of 2025," seeks to amend the Animal Health Protection Act. It aims to provide compensation to poultry growers and layers located within specific control areas. These areas are determined by the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. The compensation is intended for owners who are prohibited from growing or laying birds due to their facility's location. The bill also establishes specific definitions for poultry and outlines the methods for calculating and timing these payments.
