Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The AFTER Act of 2026 amends the Animal Welfare Act to require federal research facilities to establish regulations for retiring animals no longer needed for research. Within 90 days of enactment, federal agencies must promulgate rules to facilitate adoption or placement of research animals determined to be suitable for retirement with animal rescue organizations, sanctuaries, shelters, or individuals, with consideration given to placements beyond the immediate geographic area. The bill defines key terms including animal sanctuaries (which provide lifetime care without public contact or breeding) and establishes that nothing in the law preempts more stringent state or local animal welfare laws.
