Risk-based Oversight for Integrity Act

This bill proposes changes to the Organic Foods Production Act to modernize how organic farming is regulated by introducing a risk-based oversight system. It defines "risk to organic integrity" as the likelihood that a product marketed as organic was not produced according to organic standards and requires the USDA to conduct a study on implementing this approach within 12 months. The legislation would allow for different inspection frequencies based on risk levels, with lower-risk operations potentially receiving virtual inspections instead of annual on-site visits. Additionally, it directs the Secretary of Agriculture to consult with various stakeholders and submit a report on whether risk-based oversight protocols should be adopted, while reserving the authority to enforce compliance and protect organic integrity.
