Limiting Federal Funds for DOJ Medical Training Using Live Animals.
This bill restricts the Department of Justice (DOJ) from using taxpayer money for medical training that involves inflicting wounds on live animals. The change promotes the use of modern simulators and human-based training methods instead, unless the Attorney General determines that animal training is medically necessary and irreplaceable. This ensures ethical and up-to-date training standards for DOJ personnel.
