Voluntary Check-off Program Participation Act

This bill prohibits mandatory or compulsory check-off programs and requires producer participation in the programs to be voluntary at the point of sale. (A check-off program is a program to promote and provide research and information for a particular agricultural commodity without reference to specific producers or brands. The Department of Agriculture oversees the programs, which are requested and funded by industry.)
