What this bill would do

This bill is known as the No Flight, No Fight Act of 2026. It generally stops air carriers and aircraft operators from knowingly transporting adult roosters as cargo in interstate and foreign air transportation. The bill includes an exemption for adult roosters moving from or to a commercial farm for legitimate agricultural purposes. Anyone claiming this exemption must provide documentation and financial records proving the farm qualifies as a commercial farm before the air carrier can accept the roosters. The Secretary of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration are responsible for enforcing these rules and issuing civil penalties for violations. The law takes effect 180 days after the date of enactment.
