A bill to establish a department of sanitary science
The text of a bill, H.R. 19181, presented by Representative Shiras to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. The bill proposes establishing an executive-level Department of Sanitary Science, as there are no Federal level protections for American citizens’ health even though animals have similar protection at the Federal level. Federal protection is needed because American citizens travel between states.
