To suspend the Presidential Proclamation relating to expanding foreign beef imports and establish a Beef Import and Domestic Supply Advisory Board to increase the domestic supply of beef and lower costs for consumers over the long term, and for other purposes.

On September 17, 2026, Rep. Vasquez introduced HR10509, a bill to suspend the Presidential Proclamation that expanded foreign beef imports and create a Beef Import and Domestic Supply Advisory Board. The bill has been referred to the House Ways and Means and Agriculture Committees, indicating an early legislative stage with no further action. The primary mechanism is a suspension of a trade action that increased foreign beef access, effectively reversing a policy that allowed more imported beef into the U.S. market. This is a protectionist measure aimed at supporting domestic cattle producers and processors. The bill also establishes an advisory board to recommend policies to increase domestic beef supply and lower consumer costs over the long term, but no funding is authorized. The money trail is indirect: reduced imports lead to higher domestic beef prices and volumes, benefiting U.S. beef processors. The most directly affected publicly traded company is Tyson Foods ($TSN), whose beef segment accounts for a significant portion of revenue. No other major U.S. public companies are pure-play beef processors. The bill's early stage and lack of committee action suggest low probability of passage in the current Congress. Legislative steps remaining include committee hearings, markup, floor votes in both chambers, and presidential action. Given the divided government and the bill's protectionist nature, passage is uncertain.
