Latest action (13 Jan 2026): Referred to the Subcommittee on Conservation, Research, and Biotechnology.
What this bill does
The "Replace Animal Tests Act of 2025" proposes to prohibit the submission of data from animal testing to certain federal agencies for regulatory purposes, if scientifically satisfactory non-animal testing methods are available and accepted by those agencies. Covered agencies include the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Department of Agriculture, Environmental Protection Agency, and Food and Drug Administration. The bill outlines exceptions, such as for data generated before its enactment or if specific conditions for animal testing are met.
This legislation would affect entities that currently conduct or submit animal testing data for regulatory review. It also requires these entities to minimize animal use and suffering if animal testing is still necessary. Furthermore, covered agencies would be required to issue guidance on non-animal methods, potentially revise regulations, and publish annual reports detailing animal and non-animal test method usage, including waivers and justifications.
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on December 11, 2025, by Representative Jared Moskowitz and has been referred to the Committees on Energy and Commerce and Agriculture. It has not yet moved beyond the introduction stage. If passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the President, it would become law.
