The bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Legislature urging the United States Congress to reinstate mandatory country-of-origin labeling (COOL) for beef and pork products. The resolution highlights that while other food products are required to have such labeling, Congress removed these requirements specifically for beef and pork in December 2015. The resolution emphasizes the importance of transparency in food sourcing for consumers and producers alike, asserting that accurate labeling will foster a competitive marketplace.

Additionally, the resolution references the introduction of the American Beef Labeling Act of 2025 by U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, which aims to restore federal mandatory COOL for beef. The Montana Legislature expresses its support for this initiative and requests that the Secretary of State send copies of the resolution to relevant stakeholders, including the Montana Congressional Delegation and the Governor.
