NCBA is supporting pandemic-era livestock hauler relief legislation, the HELP Act

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association just announced that they are backing a new bill to help livestock haulers.

The HELP Act, introduced by Colorado Congressman Jeff Hurd, would make permanent the exemptions granted during the pandemic, giving livestock drivers more flexibility around hours of service and electronic loading devices.

NCBA says that kind of flexibility is critical when transporting live animals, especially in rural areas or extreme conditions where unloading mid-trip is not an option.

The group is urging Congress to pass the bill.
