Bill to Stop States Blocking Out-of-State Farm Products
This bill aims to stop states from blocking agricultural products from other states based on production standards stricter than federal or the producing state's laws. It allows people and groups affected by such state rules to sue the state in federal court.
Key points
States cannot set their own production rules for farm products coming from other states if those rules are stricter than federal or the product's home state rules.
Consumers, farmers, and others can sue states that try to block out-of-state farm products based on these stricter rules.
Courts can quickly stop states from enforcing these rules while a lawsuit is ongoing.
