S 3721 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Strengthen Wood Products Supply Chain Act of 2024

This bill establishes strict timelines for reviewing plant imports under the Lacey Act. It requires the Secretary of the Interior to make a final decision on detained plants within 30 days of review, or automatically exclude them from entry. Importers must receive detailed notices explaining detention reasons, testing plans, and options to transport plants under bond after 10 days (subject to fees and conditions). The law directly affects importers of plants (including wood products) and agencies like U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Fish and Wildlife Service, streamlining enforcement while adding procedural safeguards.
