To amend the Agricultural Adjustment Act with respect to the treatment of dates for processing under certain marketing orders.
This bill amends the Agricultural Adjustment Act to clarify that "dates" (the fruit) are included under marketing orders for processing, removing an existing exception that previously excluded them. It directly affects date growers and processors who operate under these agricultural marketing orders. The key change ensures dates are treated the same as other agricultural products for regulatory purposes under the specified marketing rules. This is a technical clarification to the existing law, not a new policy.
