Summary

Requires the Secretary of Agriculture to run a program that pays covered producers the full cost of obtaining a Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) audit, using Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) funds. The program authority terminates five years after enactment and USDA must report annually to congressional agriculture committees about recipients and whether the payments changed market access to retail food stores that require GAP audits. Also establishes that the statute may be cited by a short title and defines key terms used in the program, including "covered producer," "GAP audit," "retail food store," and "Secretary."

• USDA must create a program that pays covered producers the full cost of obtaining a Good Agricultural Practices audit.
• Payments are made from Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) funds rather than through a new annual appropriation.
• Program authority automatically terminates five years after enactment (sunset provision).
• USDA must provide annual reports to House and Senate agriculture committees for five years on recipients and effects on retail market access.
• The law includes definitions for covered producer, GAP audit, retail food store, and Secretary to clarify scope and application.
• The statute establishes a short title for the law (citation), but the program provisions and definitions drive the substance.
• The program aims to reduce a potential barrier (audit cost) for producers trying to access retailers that require GAP audits.
• Implementation details (application, payment processing) and the precise definition of covered producer are set in the statutory text but not expanded here.
