After more than a month since widespread flooding and blizzards devastated cattle producers in Nebraska and surrounding states an animal rights group is using the tragedy to push a vegan diet.
The House of Representatives has debuted their own Transporting Livestock Across America Safely Act, which is similar to the Senate version and grants greater hours of service flexibility to livestock haulers.
Livestock haulers could get another year-long extension to implement Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) through an amendment to the Senate's spending bill.
The Senate passed an extension to Electronic Logging Device (ELD) implementation for livestock haulers that would potentially give more time for regulators and Congress to fix hours of service rules.
The Transporting Livestock Across America Safely Act has been reintroduced by a bipartisan group of Senators and could provide some fixes to hours of service requirements for livestock haulers.
A petition from groups representing livestock haulers has the support of 59 members of Congress and could be a potential fix to hours of service regulations.
