Summary of Bill HR 1995

Bill 119 hr 1995, also known as the "Assessment of US Dependency on Chinese Agricultural Products Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to address the United States' reliance on critical agricultural products or inputs from China. The bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture to publish an annual assessment that evaluates the extent to which the US is dependent on Chinese agricultural goods.

In addition to the assessment, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to US-China agricultural relations. This legislation is crucial in ensuring that the US maintains a strong and independent agricultural sector, free from undue influence or control from foreign entities.
