Bill Summary

A resolution requesting the United States Congress to immediately enact a new federal food, farm, and jobs bill.

AI Summary

This Resolution urges the United States Congress to promptly pass a new federal food, farm, and jobs bill, which is a comprehensive piece of legislation that regularly sets national policy for agriculture and food. Such a bill is crucial for supporting a robust agricultural sector, ensuring a plentiful food supply for everyone, and fostering economic growth in rural areas by creating jobs. The resolution highlights that without this new bill, the nation would revert to outdated agricultural laws from 1949, and the ongoing delay is causing uncertainty for farmers and negatively affecting international trade. It also notes that a conference committee is currently working to reconcile different versions of the bill passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives.
