Sound Science for Farmers Act of 2024

The Sound Science for Farmers Act of 2024 requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to consult with agricultural stakeholders before issuing environmental regulations that may impact farming. Specifically, for risk assessments or regulations affecting agriculture, the EPA must share drafts with the Department of Agriculture, FDA, and Small Business Administration for 90 days and have them reviewed by a new agriculture committee for scientific quality and real-world farm impacts. The EPA must also notify relevant congressional committees and report on the review process before finalizing such rules. This bill directly affects how the EPA develops environmental regulations related to farming, food safety, and agricultural operations.
