Latest Action · March 27, 2026
Referred to the Committee on Agriculture, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 8152 makes a technical amendment to the Agricultural Adjustment Act regarding how dates intended for processing are treated under federal marketing orders. The bill, introduced by Mr. Ruiz on March 27, 2026, modifies Section 8e(a) of the act to explicitly include dates for processing within the scope of marketing order regulations, rather than excluding them as the law currently does. This change affects date producers and processors who operate under USDA marketing orders, which set standards and requirements for how certain agricultural products are marketed. The bill contains no specified funding or implementation timeline beyond its introduction date. The legislation was referred to both the House Agriculture Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee for consideration.
