Bill overview
The Fair Sugar Policy Act of 2019 aims to reform the U.S. federal sugar program. It reduces the price support loan rate for raw cane sugar, repeals marketing allotments, and modifies how import quotas are administered. The bill also seeks to adjust tariff-rate quotas to maintain reasonable sugar prices and avoid forfeitures, while considering the impact on various stakeholders. Finally, it repeals a program that allowed bioenergy producers to use sugar as feedstock.
