What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Lowering Egg Prices Act of 2025," aims to change how certain egg regulations are applied. It seeks to make specific shell egg regulations inapplicable to surplus broiler hatching eggs that are sold to egg breakers for processing into liquid egg products. The legislation requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to work with the Secretary of Agriculture to revise existing regulations. These revisions will allow surplus eggs to be held at temperatures compatible with hatching chicks. This change facilitates the sale of these eggs to egg breaker facilities.
