The House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Wednesday advanced legislation aimed at passing the federal government’s recent shift toward skills-based hiring along to include federal contractors as well.
A bipartisan bill introduced in the House on Thursday would amend the Public Health Service Act to prohibit federal funding for medical research that involves experiments on dogs and cats.
If passed and signed into law, the Preventing Animal Abuse and Waste Act would effectively end nearly all federal funding of tests on cats and dogs.
It would require reports to Congress by the National Institutes of Health and the Government Accountability Office detailing NIH-funded dog and cat experiments, their cost, and assessments of agency efforts to phase them out.
