Summary
The bill stops the collection and remittance of fees to the Missouri Beef Industry Council until Congress requires a "Product of the U.S.A." label on beef raised entirely in the United States. It affects beef producers who currently pay those fees and the council that receives them, linking state funding to a future federal labeling requirement.
