§7984 Studies of Effects of Changes in Approach to National Dairy Policy and Fluid Milk Identity Standards

Summary

The Secretary of Agriculture must study what would happen if federal milk price and supply programs were ended; if States, with Congress’s consent, could work together to manage milk prices and supply; and if fluid milk were required to have a minimum protein level that matches the average nonfat solids in U.S. cow milk. Within 1 year after May 13, 2002, the Secretary must send the study results to the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate.
