To amend the Agricultural Adjustment Act to remove the requirement that processors be members of an agency administering a marketing order applicable to pears.
Summary
Public Law 108-379 updates the rules for how the pear industry manages its marketing and quality standards. It removes the requirement that fruit processors must be formal members of the agencies that oversee these regulations and eliminates the rule that processors and growers must have an equal number of representatives on those boards. These changes simplify the administrative structure of the pear market, allowing for more flexible industry oversight while maintaining the standards for canned and frozen pear products.
