IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

A BILL

To provide supplemental appropriations to provide direct assistance for domestic pork producers and during the COVID–19 pandemic, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “U.S. Pork Producer Assistance Act of 2020”.

SEC. 2. Findings.

Congress finds the following:

(1) It is imperative that domestic pork producers receive financial assistance that adequately reflects the damages done to the pork industry due to the COVID–19 pandemic.

(2) While the coronavirus food assistance program carried out by the Secretary of Agriculture provides relief to livestock producers, the pork industry has faced unprecedented challenges due to packing plants being forced to reduce processing capacity.

(3) To prevent further damage to the pork industry, further funding assistance that includes direct funding for the pork industry is necessary.

SEC. 3. Additional funding for Office of the Secretary account.

For an additional amount for the “Office of the Secretary”, $5,000,000,000 to remain available until expended to provide support payments to pork producers with losses of market-ready hogs due to the COVID–19 pandemic: Provided, That such amount is designated by Congress as being for an emergency requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985: Provided further, That such amounts shall be made available only if the President subsequently so designates such amount: Provided further: That such a payment may be made to a pork producer (regardless of the adjusted gross income of such producer) in any amount so long as such amount is not greater than the total losses of such pork producer of market-ready hogs due to the COVID–19 pandemic.
