Senators Padilla, Schiff, Booker, and Markey lead 28 colleagues to defend California's Proposition 12 against federal legislation.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senators Alex Padilla, Adam Schiff, Cory Booker, and Edward Markey have led a coalition of 28 Senate colleagues in opposing the Food Security and Farm Protection Act. They argue the legislation would undermine California's Proposition 12 and similar state laws, which they assert protect local agricultural standards and the rights of states to regulate food production.
The Senators expressed concerns that this bill could open the door to extensive litigation and "create an overnight regulatory vacuum," threatening vital health and safety regulations. In their letter to the Senate Agriculture Committee, they highlighted the importance of maintaining state standards to support small farmers who have invested in compliance with these regulations.
Their opposition follows a recent move by the Trump Administration to challenge Proposition 12, emphasizing the need for congressional support to safeguard existing state laws from federal preemption. The coalition seeks to prevent any harmful provisions from being included in upcoming legislation.
