What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Transgender Research on Animals Now Stops and Money for Ideological Cruelty Eliminated Act" or the "TRANS MICE Act," seeks to restrict federal spending. It prohibits federal funds from being used to conduct or support specific types of animal research. This includes research aimed at altering a qualified animal's body so it no longer corresponds to its biological sex. The prohibition covers interventions like drugs, hormones, or surgery that disrupt development or modify appearance. It specifically targets non-human vertebrate species, such as mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians.
