Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Bill 119 HR 933, also known as the "Orange Juice Soluble Solids Modification Act," aims to amend the minimum required weight of orange juice soluble solids as outlined in the United States Code. Currently, the minimum required weight of orange juice soluble solids is set at a certain level, but this bill seeks to adjust that minimum weight to better reflect industry standards and technological advancements.

The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives and has garnered bipartisan support from lawmakers who believe that updating the minimum required weight of orange juice soluble solids will benefit both consumers and producers. Proponents of the bill argue that by adjusting the minimum weight, it will ensure that consumers are receiving a high-quality product that meets modern standards of orange juice production.

Opponents of the bill have raised concerns about potential impacts on small-scale orange juice producers who may struggle to meet the new minimum weight requirements. However, supporters argue that the benefits of updating the minimum weight outweigh any potential challenges, as it will ultimately lead to a more consistent and reliable product for consumers. Overall, Bill 119 HR 933 seeks to modernize the regulations surrounding orange juice soluble solids to better align with current industry practices and technological advancements. The bill is currently under review in Congress, and stakeholders on both sides continue to debate the potential implications of this proposed legislation.
