This legislation is sponsored by Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO).\n\n\u201cBeef is one of Idaho\u2019s most important agricultural commodities,\u201d said Rep. Simpson, an original cosponsor. \u201cFalsely labeling a plant-based or lab-grown protein hurts farmers, ranchers, and consumers. It's basic common sense to ensure that the products Americans put in their grocery carts are accurately labeled. I\u2019m proud to cosponsor this legislation and advocate for Idaho\u2019s cattle industry.\u201d\n\nThe full text of the bill is available here.\n\nThe Senate companion of the FAIR Labels Act is led by Senators Pete Ricketts (R-NE) and John Fetterman (D-PA).", 1, "2026-05-07T13:38:59Z", "2026-05-07T13:40:28Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://simpson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=401966"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9143520146608353, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
