AKC Lauds Pet & Public Health Priorities in Senate Farm Bill 2.0

NEW YORK, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The American Kennel Club (AKC®), a not-for-profit organization that is the world’s largest registry of purebred and mixed-breed dogs, and a leading voice for canine welfare and responsible ownership, applauds the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee’s base text for the 2026 Senate Agricultural Authorization Act, the “Farm Bill 2.0”. This measure accompanies and shares important positive priorities with the recently passed House Farm Bill (H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026.) The bill reauthorizes key U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs through 2031 and serves as an important vehicle to address federal priorities in the federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA).
