Bill overview
This bill, titled the Mink: Vectors for Infection Risk in the United States Act, prohibits the farming of mink for their fur starting one year after enactment. It also establishes a program to compensate fur farm owners who transition out of the industry, covering compliance costs and the market value of their mink operations. The bill aims to address the risk of mink transmitting COVID-19 to humans and requires humane euthanasia methods and penalties for non-compliance, while also preventing the re-establishment of mink farming on compensated land.
