To amend the Agricultural Adjustment Act with respect to the treatment of dates for processing under certain marketing orders.
Sponsored By: Representative Ruiz
Introduced
Summary
Brings "dates for processing" under marketing-order authority. This bill would amend Section 8e(a) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act to insert the phrase "including dates for processing" after the word "dates" and to remove the existing exclusion. That change would let marketing orders cover processing-related dates the same way they cover other marketing dates. The amendment is limited in scope to altering the inclusion and exclusion wording in Section 8e(a).

New marketing rules for date growers
This bill would change the Agricultural Adjustment Act so marketing orders explicitly cover "dates for processing." If enacted, handlers and processors of dates would be included under marketing-order authority. That could allow new or clearer rules, assessments, or quality standards for date producers and processors. The bill does not add funding or new programs and would take effect upon enactment.
