HB 237 lets Texas partner with other states to build better animal health protection. States would share resources, research, and plans to stop disease outbreaks in livestock, wildlife, and other animals. This teamwork helps our farms, ranches, and communities stay healthy. When we show up together, our community becomes more connected, more resilient, and more powerful.
