Meat Inspection Disruptions Avoided as Congress Passes Continuing Resolution

Mar 21, 2013

With less a week before current funding expires, the House passed H.R. 933, its continuing resolution, this morning, sending the bill to the White House for President Barack Obama’s signature. Included in the bill are updated spending levels for programs within the agriculture appropriations bill, as well as $55 million to fund the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety Inspection Service and avert prospective disruptions in the agency’s meat inspections.
