Streamlining Interstate Agricultural Trade: Preventing Local Interference
This act aims to prevent state and local governments from imposing additional requirements on agricultural products produced in other states and sold across state lines. This could lead to a wider variety of agricultural products for consumers and easier market access for producers. The law also allows affected parties to challenge such regulations in court.
Key points
State and local governments cannot add new rules for agricultural products made in other states if those products meet federal and their home state's laws.
Individuals, businesses, or groups harmed by such rules can sue to stop them and seek money for financial losses.
Courts can quickly block these rules from being enforced unless the government proves its rules are likely legal and stopping them would cause major harm.
