Bill > S2603

This bill, the Streamlining Conservation Practice Standards Act of 2023, amends the Food Security Act of 1985 to streamline the process for establishing and reviewing conservation practice standards. It requires the Secretary of Agriculture to develop a streamlined, publicly accessible process for proposing, reviewing, and adopting interim and permanent conservation practice standards, including allowing state and local flexibility, soliciting regular input from state technical committees, and prioritizing the review of standards that address underused practices and reduce the use of synthetic chemicals and fertilizers. The bill also requires the Secretary to report to Congress and make publicly available information on the administrative process and changes to conservation practice standards.
