Increased Audits for Imported Seafood Funded by IRS Budget Cuts.
This bill allocates $36 million to the Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP) to significantly increase audits of imported shrimp and red snapper. This aims to ensure consumers receive safer and properly labeled seafood. The funding is offset by rescinding an equal amount from funds previously designated for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under the Inflation Reduction Act.
