Summary

Changes federal agricultural marketing law to stop excluding “dates for processing” from a listed set of regulated items. In plain terms, the bill removes the phrase that carved processing dates out of the statute, so processing dates can now be treated the same as the other items listed under that provision.

• Removes the statutory exclusion that barred “dates for processing” from a listed set of items in 7 U.S.C. 608e–1(a).
• Makes “dates for processing” subject to the same treatment as the other items in that statutory list.
• Adjusts punctuation/connective language to ensure the statute reads correctly after the removal.
• Does not by itself create new spending, tax changes, or a new federal program.
• Gives implementing agencies or marketing agreements potential authority to address processing dates.
• Practical effects depend on subsequent agency actions, orders, or agreements that apply the expanded coverage.
• Likely to have limited, targeted regulatory impact rather than broad economic changes.
• No explicit effective date is provided in the text supplied; implementation follows normal rules.
