Referred to the Subcommittee on Nutrition and Foreign Agriculture.
Summary
The bill directs the USDA to conduct a study on using risk‑based oversight for the national organic program and to issue new regulations based on that study. It would change how organic farms and handling operations are inspected, using more frequent or virtual checks for higher‑risk producers and fewer burdens for lower‑risk ones. The goal is to protect organic integrity while reducing unnecessary oversight costs.
