Summary – the Farm Bill has passed through the House of Representatives, and it will likely be brought to the Senate floor by the end of the month. 

If it passes as is, it will wipe out all state-level laws enforcing animal welfare standards on interstate meat and dairy imports. (Eggs are mercifully exempt.) It will also pre-empt any future laws of this kind.  

The linked post details actions to help prevent this.

Summary - the Farm Bill is probably going to be voted on in the House of Representatives within the next few days. If it passes as is, it will nullify all state laws enforcing animal welfare standards on interstate meat and dairy imports. (Eggs are thankfully exempt.) It will also pre-empt future laws along these lines.

If you want to help prevent this, the linked post contains a document detailing ways to help.
