This bill proposes an amendment to Section 8e(a) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act , which governs federal marketing orders for agricultural commodities. Its primary purpose is to alter the treatment of dates for processing under these orders. Currently, dates for processing are often excluded or treated distinctly from other dates within the regulatory framework. The amendment achieves this by inserting language to explicitly include "dates for processing" alongside other dates and by striking phrases that previously excluded them. This legislative change ensures that dates intended for processing will now be subject to the same marketing order regulations as other dates.
