S 2866 · Cybersecurity in Agriculture Act of 2025

Cosponsor

Partly supportsCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production

The cosponsored bill would create an agriculture cybersecurity program to protect agricultural systems and supply chains, including research, grants, and coordination meant to strengthen security and resiliency. That can meaningfully support California agriculture by helping safeguard production and the agricultural supply chain, but it does not directly address farmworkers or food security programs, so the alignment is narrower than the stated priority.

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“Cybersecurity in Agriculture Act of 2025 This bill directs the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) to establish an agriculture cybersecurity program.”
“Under the program, NIFA must provide grants to or enter into cooperative agreements with eligible land-grant colleges or universities.”
“These institutions must establish five Regional Agriculture Cybersecurity Centers to carry out research, development, and education on agriculture cybersecurity related to seed agriculture, horticulture, animal agriculture, and the agriculture supply chain.”
“It must also coordinate regional industry partners, cooperatives, government authorities, and other stakeholders to (1) strengthen security, privacy, and resiliency of agricultural systems; (2) bolster the resiliency of cybersecurity infrastructure used by independent, noncentralized, locally owned and operated agricultural networks; and (3) develop a skilled workforce equipped to manage and protect agricultural systems from cyberattacks.”
“The program must also establish a national network of such regional centers and designate one college or university to coordinate the national network's activities.”

SRES 367 · A resolution designating July 2025 as "American Grown Flower and Foliage Month".

Cosponsor

No direct connectionCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production

The quoted policy goal is about supporting California’s farmers and farmworkers and strengthening food security and agricultural production. The cited action is cosponsoring a resolution designating July 2025 as American Grown Flower and Foliage Month and encouraging U.S.-grown flowers and foliage. That is a broad promotional resolution, not a measure that directly advances California farmworkers, food security programs, or agricultural production in the specific sense stated. No substantive policy mechanism connecting the resolution to the stated goal is provided.

S 2618 · MORE USDA Grants Act

Cosponsor

Partly supportsCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production

The cosponsored bill would expand access to USDA grant programs, reduce local matching fund requirements, and provide additional technical assistance for rural local and tribal governments in high-density public land counties. That can meaningfully support agricultural production and related rural food-security infrastructure, but the bill is not specifically targeted to California farmers and farmworkers and does not directly address farmworker conditions or statewide food security programs. So it is a narrower, indirect support rather than a direct match to the stated policy goal.

“Senator Schiff is dedicated to enacting policies that support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production.”

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“More Opportunities for Rural Economies from USDA Grants Act or the MORE USDA Grants Act This bill expands access to qualifying Department of Agriculture (USDA) grant programs for local governments or tribal governments located within a high-density public land county.”
“Qualifying USDA grant programs include the Rural Business Development Grants, the Community Facilities grant program, the Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grants program, and other specified grant programs administered by USDA rural development agencies or by USDA.”
“Under the bill, any requirement for local matching funds under a qualifying grant program must be reduced by 50% for a local government or tribal government within a high-density public land county.”
“On request, USDA must provide additional technical assistance to these local governments or tribal governments before and during the annual application period for each qualifying grant program.”
“Further, USDA must prioritize grant applications from these local governments and tribal governments that have not received support in the previous 10 years under the qualifying grant program.”
“For qualifying grant programs, USDA may also provide additional application support for these local governments or tribal governments.”

Opposing provisions

“Under the bill, these are counties (1) that have a population of not more than 100,000 people, and (2) where the federal government owns or manages more than 50% of the land.”
“Support may include offering flexibility in meeting certain application requirements or addressing a barrier to applying for or receiving assistance, such as flexibility related to financial requirements or application scoring criteria.”

S 2541 · Food Date Labeling Act of 2025

Cosponsor

MixedCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production

The cosponsored bill is about standardizing food date labels nationwide. It may indirectly relate to food security by reducing confusion and possible food waste, but it does not directly support farmers, farmworkers, or agricultural production, and it does not create farm, labor, or production support programs. The bill also includes federal preemption of differing state/local labeling rules, so the connection to the stated California agriculture priority is indirect and mixed at best.

“Senator Schiff is dedicated to enacting policies that support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production.”

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“Food Date Labeling Act of 2025 This bill establishes uniform requirements for quality and discard date phrases (e.g., best by and use by) placed voluntarily on food labels.”
“Quality and discard dates must be written in a single, easy-to-read font and placed in a prominent location on an item’s label or package.”
“The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) must promulgate regulations to carry out these provisions and ensure that the uniform phrases are standardized across all food products.”

Opposing provisions

“The bill specifies that no state or local government may enforce a requirement related to quality and discard date phrases that differs from the requirements of the bill.”

SRES 349 · A resolution designating the week of August 3 through August 9, 2025, as "National Farmers Market Week".

Cosponsor

MixedCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production

The cosponsorship is only a symbolic resolution marking National Farmers Market Week. It recognizes farmers markets as supporting livelihoods, which is related to agriculture in a broad sense, but it does not specifically advance California farmers and farmworkers, nor does it bolster food security programs or agricultural production. The action is therefore a mixed or at most indirect fit, not a direct substantive advancement of the stated policy goal.

“Senator Schiff is dedicated to enacting policies that support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production.”
