The bill would create a fund using 70% of certain duties collected on imported shrimp and products containing shrimp, starting in fiscal year 2026. Half of the fund would support federal inspections and related work, including checks for unapproved antibiotic residues, forced labor, and illegal, unreported, or unregulated sources. The other half would support efforts to encourage people in the United States to consume domestic shrimp. The bill has been referred to House committees and has not been enacted.
The bill would direct more resources toward inspecting imported shrimp and promoting domestic shrimp consumption. It does not specify changes to consumer prices or particular inspection outcomes.
