Bill 119 HR 887, also known as the "Grocery Cost Study Act," aims to direct the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study on grocery costs for consumers in the United States. The purpose of this study is to gather information and data on the prices of groceries and how they impact consumers across the country.
The bill does not specify a timeline for the study to be completed, but it does outline the scope of the study to include an analysis of various factors that contribute to grocery costs, such as transportation, production, and distribution. Additionally, the study will examine how changes in these factors may affect the prices of groceries for consumers.
The bill does not propose any specific actions or regulations to address the findings of the study, but rather seeks to provide valuable information to policymakers and the public about the factors influencing grocery costs in the United States.
Overall, the Grocery Cost Study Act is a non-partisan effort to better understand the factors influencing grocery prices and how they impact consumers in the United States.
