MAJOR
The Engrossed version of HR 7567 adds numerous new sections across all titles, expanding the bill's scope significantly. Major additions include a prohibition on foreign adversaries purchasing agricultural land, two entirely new forestry subtitles (White Oak Resilience and Save Our Sequoias), reauthorization of the U.S. Grain Standards Act, expansion of SNAP-eligible foods, new organic program oversight provisions, and removal of several pesticide regulatory reform sections. The bill also adds animal welfare provisions, a seafood office within USDA, and multiple new studies and reports.
SCOPE
New prohibition (Sec. 12306) on purchase of agricultural land by foreign adversaries and state sponsors of terrorism, adding a national security restriction not present in the introduced version.
Two new forestry subtitles added: White Oak Resilience (Sec. 8601-8606) covering white oak restoration coalitions, Forest Service pilot programs, and shrubland wildfire mitigation; and Save Our Sequoias (Sec. 8701-8711) covering shared stewardship agreements, health assessments, emergency response, reforestation strategy, strike teams, and a dedicated emergency protection fund for giant sequoias.
New Subtitle E in Title XII reauthorizes the United States Grain Standards Act (Sec. 12501-12510), adding official inspection authority, weighing authority, equipment testing, registration requirements, and an advisory committee.
Three pesticide regulatory reform sections removed from Title X: uniformity of pesticide labeling requirements (former Sec. 10205), authority of States (former Sec. 10206), and lawful use of authorized pesticides (former Sec. 10207).
New sections establishing an Office of Seafood within USDA (Sec. 12419) and providing Department of Agriculture loans and grants for commercial fishing and fish processing businesses (Sec. 12420), bringing seafood policy under the agriculture umbrella.
New trade subtitle (Subtitle D, Sec. 3401-3402) adding a report on modifications to USMCA and a sense of Congress with report on Argentine beef imports.
New section exempting farm equipment from Clean Air Act emission standards (Sec. 12422), which would remove federal emissions requirements for agricultural machinery.
Office of the Ombudsman section (former Sec. 12206) removed from the Department of Agriculture Reorganization provisions.
ELIGIBILITY
SNAP food eligibility expanded with new sections on hot rotisserie chicken (Sec. 4114) and a broader section on foods eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits (Sec. 4115).
REQUIREMENT
Three new organic program sections added (Sec. 10107-10109): definitions of risk to organic integrity and oversight protocols, modernization of inspection requirements, and a study and reform of National Organic Program oversight protocols.
Section 6418 changed from 'Elimination of prohibition on use of loan for certain purposes' to 'Prohibition on use of loan or grant for certain purposes,' reversing the direction of the policy and extending the restriction to grants as well as loans.
New animal welfare provisions added: protection of greyhounds (Sec. 12008), animal fighting (Sec. 12009), and placement of animals used in Federal research (Sec. 12010).
New limitations on research: restriction on certain research involving dogs and cats (Sec. 7612) and limitation on certain research in countries of concern (Sec. 7614).
FISCAL
New sections establishing a tree planting grant program (Sec. 9017), adding waste energy recovery to the Rural Energy for America Program (Sec. 9015), and a timber production expansion guaranteed loan program (Sec. 8421).
TECHNICAL
Specialty crop payment calculation formula modified, changing the basis from producer sales in a preceding calendar year to a different calculation method (diff truncated before full text visible).
