WASHINGTON — A bill to provide a federal standard for the housing of egg laying hens has been introduced in the U.S. Senate by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)
The bill, S.3239, is a companion bill to one introduced earlier in the House of Representatives. That legislation, HR 3798, the Egg Products Inspection Act Amendments of 2012, is supported by both the United Egg Producers and the Human Society of the United States.
The Egg Products Inspection Act would recognize the enriched colony system as the new national housing standard for laying hens instead of conventional cages.
