OK HR1007

Federal Food and Drug Administration's Veterinary Feed Directive became effective October 1, 2015, requiring livestock farmers and ranchers to obtain veterinarian authorization in the form of a directive to use certain antibiotics.

Directs the Oklahoma House of Representatives to urge repeal of the Veterinary Feed Directive and encourages the Oklahoma Congressional Delegation and United States Congress to support such repeal.

Asserts the regulation has caused hardships for Oklahoma farmers and ranchers by delaying or making livestock care unattainable, and that Oklahomans are most qualified to determine health and safety of animals under their care.

Requires copies of the resolution be distributed to each member of the Oklahoma Congressional Delegation.
