What it does
The Horse Transportation Safety Act of 2025 would prohibit transporting horses in interstate commerce using motor vehicles with two or more stacked levels, such as multi-deck trailers, to improve animal welfare during transit. The ban applies to any person transporting horses across state lines, in the District of Columbia, or U.S. territories using vehicles designed for highway use, excluding rail-operated vehicles. Violations would incur civil penalties of $100 to $500 per horse transported in violation, in addition to any other legal remedies.
