NASC proposes Animal Health Supplement Act for regulatory clarity
May 5, 2026
The National Animal Supplement Council wants federal legislation to give animal health supplements a permanent legal home.
The National Animal Supplement Council (NASC) has unveiled the Animal Health Supplement Act, a proposed federal law that would establish a statutory category for animal health supplements — products that have operated for decades under regulatory enforcement discretion with no permanent legal standing.
NASC President Bill Bookout and Todd Harrison, partner at Venable and the organization's legal counsel, unveiled the proposal during a webinar attended by nearly 500 industry stakeholders and state regulators.
