H.R. 4417 - The Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression Act (EATS); INFB supports the EATS act as a legislative fix that would prevent states from impeding agricultural trade from other states within the U.S. This is in response to the unfavorable Prop 12 ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court. A version of this legislation was also included in the House farm bill and is a major point in INFBs support of the bill.
