To amend the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 to require the Secretary of Agriculture to publish information related to orders under commodity promotion laws.

# HR 7851 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would require the U.S. Department of Agriculture to publicly publish information about "orders" issued under federal commodity promotion laws. These orders typically govern how agricultural industries (like dairy, beef, or cotton) can market and promote their products. The bill aims to make this regulatory process more transparent by ensuring the public has access to details about these orders. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily impact agricultural producers, industry groups involved in commodity promotion, and the general public.

Farmers and agricultural businesses would need to operate under more publicly visible rules, while consumers and taxpayers would gain clearer insight into how agricultural promotion programs work. **Current Status:** HR 7851 is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but not yet debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) in the 119th Congress.
