H.R. 10509 — BEEF Act

This section suspends the August 26, 2026, presidential proclamation expanding beef import quotas and any substantially similar successor. It requires any future executive action increasing or expanding beef imports to be submitted to Congress and approved by specific statutory authorization enacted within 30 days.

This section establishes the Beef Import and Domestic Supply Advisory Board within the Department of Agriculture to develop a strategy for rebuilding the American cattle herd, increasing domestic beef production, reducing regulatory burdens on ranchers, and keeping beef affordable for consumers. The 12-member Board, chaired by the Secretary of Agriculture with representatives from ranchers, processors, economists, and other stakeholders, also advises the Secretary and Congress on related policies and terminates four years after enactment.
