Plain-English Summary

The legislation would create new federal crimes and penalties related to threats against agricultural systems and national food security, likely targeting sabotage, bioterrorism, or intentional contamination of crops and livestock. It would give law enforcement additional tools to investigate and prosecute people who threaten or damage agricultural infrastructure that the country depends on for food production. Farmers, food producers, and agricultural workers could benefit from increased protection, while those who commit such crimes would face federal charges and potential imprisonment.
