Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026
The bill directs substantial new investments and program expansions to support farmers, specialty crops, rural infrastructure, conservation, and nutrition, accelerating technology adoption and resilience but doing so with large new budget commitments, added administrative complexity, potential inequities favoring larger or better‑resourced actors, and some rollbacks of environmental and regulatory safeguards.
Protect Infant Formula from Contamination Act
The bill increases safety and transparency around infant formula—speeding detection, traceability, and oversight to protect infants and help prevent shortages—at the cost of greater regulatory and reporting burdens on manufacturers and the FDA, with potential short-term supply disruptions and increased costs for businesses, agencies, or taxpayers.
Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025
The bill expands acceptable milk and fortified nondairy options and strengthens allergy-safety training in schools—improving access and safety for many students—while creating modest new costs, administrative requirements, and a possible increase in saturated-fat availability.
Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act
This bill increases regulatory clarity, pediatric and transplant-focused initiatives, and transparency that can improve access and oversight, but it does so while raising federal costs, imposing new administrative burdens, and introducing risks that could delay pediatric data, weaken enforcement incentives, and shift incentives for drug developers.
Illegal Red Snapper and Tuna Enforcement Act
To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14.
This package delivers sizable tax relief, defense/industrial and targeted domestic investments while tightening immigration and benefit rules and expanding fossil fuel development — producing near‑term financial and program gains for many Americans at the cost of higher federal spending, greater compliance burdens, and increased risks to climate, coverage, and immigrant access.
Youth Poisoning Protection Act
The bill reduces poisoning risk and creates clearer rules while preserving regulated uses of sodium nitrite, but it may raise compliance costs, restrict access for some lawful users, and cut revenue for niche small businesses.
Expressing the sense of the Senate that the 93rd anniversary of the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-1933, known as the "Holodomor", should serve as a reminder of repressive Soviet policies against the people of Ukraine, and that Vladimir Putin's brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine once again threatens the existence of the Ukrainian people, while exacerbating the problems of global hunger.
The resolution increases U.S. diplomatic focus, symbolic recognition, and potential pressure to protect Ukrainian grain exports and aid vulnerable importing countries, trading off higher costs and greater risk of heightened tensions with Russia that could complicate diplomacy.
Designating September 25, 2025, as "National Lobster Day".
The resolution raises the profile of U.S. lobstering—potentially boosting local economies, consumer confidence, and interest in marine farming—while offering no funding or policy changes, leaving communities to pursue the benefits (and manage infrastructure and health messaging risks) on their own.
Commending Federal, State, and local law enforcement for their efforts in protecting Americans by combating drug trafficking and agroterrorism and for their recent actions in Kansas and across the country.
The resolution highlights and supports law‑enforcement successes that can reduce lethal drug supply and protect crops, but it prioritizes enforcement over treatment, may increase taxpayer costs, and raises civil‑liberties concerns for vulnerable communities.
Expressing support for the designation of May 2025 as "National Beef Month" to recognize the important role cattle play in the United States, and to consumers.
The resolution highlights beef's economic importance and nutritional value to benefit producers and inform consumers, but risks reinforcing industry-favorable policies and raising environmental concerns if it leads to increased emphasis on beef production.
Chesapeake Bay Conservation Acceleration Act of 2025
The bill increases targeted conservation and workforce investments—improving water quality, farmer support, and agricultural training—at the cost of higher federal spending, potential distributional gaps in who benefits, added reporting requirements for producers, and some transitional or governance risks.
Farewell to Foam Act of 2025
The bill reduces EPS pollution and creates demand for alternatives while providing some enforcement predictability, but it shifts costs to small businesses and consumers and concentrates broad, potentially uncertain federal rulemaking and variable state enforcement.
Reduce Food Loss and Waste Act of 2025
The bill aims to increase food donation, safety clarity, and waste diversion through voluntary certification and interagency coordination—boosting assistance and environmental benefits—while imposing administrative and compliance costs that may advantage larger actors and limit nationwide impact without mandatory measures.
SAFE Act of 2025
The bill protects equines by banning their slaughter for human consumption—benefiting animal welfare and owners—but shifts economic costs onto breeders, processors, transporters, and may create enforcement and state/tribal regulatory conflicts.
Farm and Food Cybersecurity Act of 2025
The bill strengthens coordination, monitoring, and practical resilience measures for the food and agriculture sector—improving preparedness and guidance for businesses and governments—but does so in ways that could impose new compliance, privacy, and fiscal costs, especially for small farms and businesses.
Innovation in Pediatric Drugs Act of 2025
The bill increases predictability, transparency, and modest centralized support for pediatric research and rare‑disease flexibility, but it also reduces some FDA enforcement leverage and creates administrative shifts that risk slower or reduced pediatric evidence generation and greater uncertainty for clinicians, families, and providers.
Safer Shrimp Imports Act
The bill improves U.S. consumer safety and regulatory clarity for imported shrimp but likely raises prices and compliance burdens that could reduce supply and harm foreign producers and some U.S. businesses.
Fair Milk Pricing for Farmers Act
The bill increases dairy-sector transparency and supplies useful data for market actors and researchers through biennial facility-level cost and yield reporting, but it imposes compliance costs on producers, raises modest taxpayer-funded administrative expenses, and carries some risk of exposing competitively sensitive information despite confidentiality measures.
Combating Illicit Xylazine Act
The bill strengthens federal authority, reporting, and enforcement to curb xylazine misuse and improve data-driven public-health responses, but it risks criminalizing users, raising costs and compliance burdens for medical/veterinary suppliers, and creating short-term enforcement and resource strains without guaranteed concurrent expansion of treatment access.
Cost-of-living Emergency Act
The bill creates a fast-moving, transparent federal framework to identify and address household cost pressures—potentially lowering prices for many—but does so by expanding administrative activity, using budgetary subsidies and emergency powers that risk rushed decisions, higher taxes or deficits, and exclusion of some struggling households.
American Beef Labeling Act of 2025
The bill increases consumer information and supply‑chain transparency and may boost U.S. producers, but it also imposes compliance costs and the risk of higher retail prices and international trade disputes.
Livestock Consolidation Research Act of 2026
The bill increases transparency by requiring regular USDA reports that help farmers, policymakers, and public-health planners respond to industry consolidation, at the cost of modest taxpayer-funded reporting burdens and concerns from producers about regulatory use and reduced detail where confidential business data are withheld.
Food and Nutrition Delivery Safety Act of 2026
The bill strengthens privacy, food-safety, worker-pay, and accountability standards for online SNAP transactions, improving protections for participants and workers, but it also imposes new costs and compliance burdens that may reduce retailer participation and access—especially for small and rural stores.
Family Grocery and Farmer Relief Act
The bill shifts market power toward smaller domestic owners and gives the FTC stronger tools to restore competition and resilience in the meat supply, but it risks short‑term supply disruptions, higher transition costs, regulatory uncertainty, and fiscal exposure while prompting legal and diplomatic challenges.
PRIME Meat Processing in Indian Country Act
The bill expands Tribal authority to run federally equivalent meat inspection programs and access U.S. markets while preserving food-safety standards, but risks limited Tribal control, added costs and administrative burdens, export restrictions, and uncertain implementation tied to future federal actions and funding.
Enhanced Cybersecurity for SNAP Act of 2026
The bill strengthens EBT security, access, and transparency for SNAP recipients (including faster, free replacements and chip-enabled protections) but requires significant state and retailer upgrades, creates implementation and privacy risks, and could produce uneven protections if federal standards are reduced.
Prohibiting Tianeptine and Other Dangerous Products Act of 2026
The bill tightens border enforcement to keep noncompliant and potentially unsafe dietary products out of the U.S., improving consumer safety, but it raises compliance burdens, legal exposure, and enforcement costs for businesses and taxpayers.
CLEAR LABELS Act
The bill improves drug supply-chain transparency and speeds recalls/import processes—helping patient safety and supply reliability—but imposes compliance costs, possible short-term availability disruptions, and some legal/oversight trade-offs for manufacturers, importers, and customs.
Expanded Food Safety Investigation Act of 2025
The bill improves public-health detection and interagency response to microbial contamination at CAFOs but does so by imposing a new duty on farmers to allow on-site sampling, creating compliance costs, operational/biosecurity risks, and confidentiality concerns for operators.
