Risk-based Oversight for Integrity Act modernizes organic oversight by defining risk to organic integrity and authorizing regulatory reforms.
The Risk-based Oversight for Integrity Act amends the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 to modernize oversight of organic products. It defines "risk to organic integrity" as the likelihood that a product marketed as organically produced is not compliant with organic farming and processing standards. The Act directs the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a study on risk-based oversight and implement reforms based on the study's findings. The Secretary may reduce oversight costs for entities with lower risk and prioritize resources for higher-risk entities.
