Mark Pocan and Nick Langworthy introduced the Companion Animal Protection Against Cruel Testing (COMPACT) Act on September 23, 2026. The legislation prohibits the use of federal public-health research funds for biomedical research involving live dogs and cats. The act preserves flexibility for genuine national emergencies and protects animals currently in research facilities.
