Plain-English Summary

This bill would require the federal government to track and report on animal research conducted overseas by U.S. institutions and funded with American taxpayer money, similar to oversight rules that already apply to domestic animal research. The goal is to ensure that animals used in foreign laboratories meet the same welfare and ethical standards as those in the United States, giving Congress and the public better visibility into how federal research dollars are being spent abroad. The bill primarily affects research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and government agencies that fund or conduct animal testing internationally.
