S 415 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Food and Energy Security Act

This bill requires federal financial regulators (like the Federal Reserve or SEC) to analyze how new rules would affect food, electricity, and fuel prices before implementing them. Specifically, it mandates that regulators provide detailed, multi-year price impact estimates - broken down by Consumer Price Index categories - when proposing rules affecting agricultural or energy supply chain businesses. Regulators cannot adopt such rules if the analysis shows price increases, unless the annual Consumer Price Index growth is below 4.5%. The law directly affects businesses in food/energy supply chains and the federal agencies that write financial regulations.
